\ rr 7 < SEHTMEL, BAKNWELL, SOUTH OA&OUHA IDENTIFICATION OF HOGS IN BIG HERDS (Prepared by the l/ntted States Depart-, thent of Agriculture.) • On a farnj wtyere hofes are raised for. purely market purposes and, where the number of sotfh Is small there need be no Identification of ? the stock. The' feeder, knows hls animals and /even When mistakes, aremade they are. of . relatively small importance. Itntywhere large herds are maintained^or where purebred stpek is bred, fhere Is neces sity for some method of Identifying the Individuals. It enables the careful breeder to tell the ancestry of any 1 member of the herd, which is a self- evident advantagedn the selection of- breeding stock. ' The clerical 'eqd'of record keeping need not be discussed, but It is ytyell ty mention a few methods .used to. identify the animals. Nb Prjic-. ’ ticnl method of branding hogs has been devised. Sonfe breeders ijse ear tagfc- marked with different numl)ers, but ■ these tear out Very easily and become lost. They are also subject to'-the ob jection that it is impossible to mark pigs.by tills method at birth. No sys tem Is free, from .defects, but one of the, most satisfactory methods-is to notches can be cut at the time of birth., and unless the pig has an ear muti lated In fighting, they usually remain permanently. Th$ following is « key to a simple and effective method of notching pigs so as to be able to record their breeding. All pigskin the same lit 1 ter should have the same mark. Keep a record of the mark ahd the sow’s identification, and her pigs can then be selected at any timej i A Method of Notching Pigs. Number Indicated. Location of Mark. * Left ear. Right ear.
