I want to build a new building to finish out a few hogs. Maybe two pens with 12-15 head in each.(why??) I really miss having hogs here. I love having pigs on pasture. The land here is flat n heavy so two, three days of rain and you have got a mess. I also really hate chasing hogs when they get out. I am thinking about a small 12-16 foot wide building 20 or so feet long. Slated floor. This would set on top of bunker silo blocks high enough for a skid steer to go under to clean out. Cement floor sloping away from the building. Dirt piled up outside along the walls like a old fashioned hip roof barn. Trap door in the roof or side so I can pull up with a feed grinder and fill round feeders. Walls that slide open in warm weather, or hinge up. I have two questions for any old hog men out there. How much poo/bu. does a growing hog eating free choice feed deliver out his back side 40 lbs. to finish on average? Next question, How heavy is H2S gas?? will it rise into the hog barn, or will it be heavy enough to drift out the open end of the basement pit?? I am trying to build something very simple, but yet will work. I would like to use a old fashioned Hog Haven structure, but they are impossible to find used and to expensive new to ever pay for themselves. Am I crazy or is there a simpler way to finish a few hogs, have some fun and not have them in the road?? Al

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
