The Huron Expositor, 1982-12-08, Page 15ssels Post Korea is new home for Bruss'�ls porkers BY RON WASSiNK K nnwn in Canada for their extensive cattle and swine breeding program. Bodmin Limited of RR5. Brussels, was one of r 12 Ontario swine breeding operations chosen by a Korean delegation to export to Korea. Spokesman for Bodmin4itnited, Ross Procter, said the sale was made'through Dr. Brian Brandenberg, a swine consultant from Guelph. Dr. Bradenberg• who operates a sw Inc operation in the Philipines, met with George Procter two months ago and chose 25 pigs which he suggested should be 'pedi- greed. Two weeks ago. two Korean repre- sentatives travelled to Bodmin Limited and selected six Landrace gilts. four and a half' months of age, weighing approximately 150 pounds each. Ross Procter said the reason other countries look ttrCanada for quality breeding stock is "Canada has a good reputation. health wise. Countries which have a good many problem diseases. have diseases which are not a problem here. Countries around the world look to Canada for disease-free Itsestock." A second reason is the Canadian Record of Production testing program is resugni,ed around the world. Bodmin Limited has been in swine production since 1912. Their breeding program consists of 180 sows made up of four breeds including Landrace, Yorkshire, Hampshire and Duroc. Besides shipping pigs across Canada. Bodmin has also exported to Cabe. They also hold the distinction of having several of their boars used at the artificial insemination unit in Woodstock. Mr. Procter said of the current list of 25 Yorkshire boars at the A.I. unit, five carry the Bodmin bloodline. He explained all their breeding stock is pedigreed. In addition, Bodmin Limited is enrolled with Ontario government in a Certified Herd Policy, where health of swine is constantly monitored. The Korea bound pigs were delivered to a collecting,depot at the Listowel sales barn by Dave McIntosh whois in charge of the sales barn at Bodmin Limited. Mr. Procter said the price paid by the Kofearl buyers "is in line with Ontario sales." A spokesman for J.M. Walker Farms International, a cattle and swine exporting • company in Aylmer, said 100 Ontario pigs were airlifted to Korea last Sunday. As with cattle exports. the "ex -porkers" will face a quarantine period. With its first export of pigs to Korea, the exporting firm which specializes in cattle exports, has just recently entered the swine export market. In addition to the pigs, 400 heifers were also exported to the same country. Students witness police dog demonstration JEAN BEWLEY M7-9047 ' ' Mrs Vcrena Bone.
