Selecting Breeding Swint.

A great many breeders do not think it is best to keep a pig intended for breeding purposes extra fat, but only lu good growing order, but from my personal knowledge and experience of the past ten years as a breeder I find the most prolific breeders to be those which were never pushed, but given their natural growth. Fat kills the generative capabilities and hides all their defects. To select a pig for a breeder see him when in only good growing condition.—From Address Before Texas Swine Breeders Association.
