Duroc Jersey Pig Weight Like Three Scrub Pigs

W.P. Pritchard, Route 3, City, recently killed a 2-year-old Duroc Jersey hog that dressed over 520 pounds.

This equals the weight of three scrub pigs of the same age killed on the same day in the community, says County Agent G.W. Falls. A 3-year-old hog of the same breed was killed by C.W. Ives and dressed out over 745 pounds of the equal in weight of a good steer.
