G.F. Clark Slaughters Two Fine Shoats, Dec. 25, 1923

Two Fine Shoats. . . One Weighed 553 Pounds on His 553rd Day Birthday

A shoat that grows a pound a day is some pig. Mr. G.F. Clark of Virgilina Route 2, killed two pigs last week. Each of them were 553 days old, and one weighed 486 pounds. Both had the same care and feed, one gaining 67 pounds in weight more than the other one.
