Biggest Challenge
1997= 13,800 pigs sold
2017= 16,980 pigs sold
= 3,180 EXTRA pigs produced on unit

rule
3% 1%less space = less growth
We Need More Space or Less Pigs!!!

What Do You Need to Do?
Examine space & pig flow required on unit
Can you work Smarter not Harder?
This should give your unit another 20 years !
- See you in 2037 for a review !!
