Hi Ray I raise hogs on a straw base in 6 biotec shelters, they are not climate controlled, other than by the outside weather or fed growth promoters at all the packers banned it here, because of export trade restrictions on the stuff. they don't get antibiotics after the first week they come in either. they are here 17 weeks and ship at about 250 lbs +. those hogs have a totally different look to hogs raised in closed environment barns on concrete, and pumped full of medication and stuff continually. My barn renter has a conventional climate controlled barn he has pigs from on the truck when he comes here sometimes, they are the most anemic colorless pigs I have seen. They are fed the same food as mine, if i put 1 of mine in with his you would see it, it would stand out like it was painted green in the truck, chances are it will have so much energy it would beat his to death fighting as well. His have no energy due to being penned up in small spaces all the time, and are half scared to death of the world outside those conventional barns. The stupid things will sometimes drop dead with stress getting them in the truck,because they are not used to the Outside world of that totally enclosed barn. When We ran our own animals locals would come buy and slaughter one of ours, they couldn't eat store bought as it made them ill, ours without all the junk no problem. seems to be there are lots of guys want "organic" or as close to for the same reason. try telling the people that get sick there is no problem with all the drugs and junk fed to most of this store bought pork ! with raising them here the way we do , or the grass fed ones you are sayings wrong I know what I want to eat from my plate. Regards Robert

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
