103 2 A B C D 757 days 1122 days 1272 days 900 days This sow s first litter came on her first birthday. This 7 th litter is a week old. She has raised 7 litters of pigs and rebred every time without a recycle. She is an excellent mother averaging 9 pigs weaned in each litter. The sow nurses her litter for 3 weeks then is rebred 5 days following weaning. It takes 114 days till the pigs will be born. How old is this sow?

104 3 A B C D This building houses 600 during the finishing phase. Each pen has 25 hogs with two wateriers per pen. Finishing pigs require 8 square feet and no more than 5 hogs per feeder hole. These pigs are half way through this phase with 2 months to go. How many feeder holes must the pen have?

105 4 A B C D Pigs are ear notched as a form of identification. This pigs ear notch is 11-2, which means he was born in the eleventh litter and was the second pig in that litter. Farmer Richard had 21 litters in January that averaged 8 pigs a litter. How many pigs were born in January?

106 5 A B C D Pig need a lot of fresh, clean water to grow fast and stay healthy. Our goal is for the pigs to gain 2 pounds a day and finish weighing 264 pounds as soon as possible.

110 9 A B C D This Hampshire market hog has a very large loin. This pig has 2 loins weighing 22 pounds each. This hog had.4 backfat with a 2.9 loin depth and over 60% lean cuts. The fat-a-meter measures loin depth which can be converted to loin eye area by multiplying by 3. What was this pigs loin eye area?

111 The Duroc breed of swine is known for its fast growth and superior pork quality. The 125 pigs out of this boar reach market 7 days quicker than pigs from Farmer Richard s other boars. Farmer Richard figured that each day saved him $1 per pig per day. How much money did this boar save Farmer Richard on this one set of pigs? 10 A B C D $875 $850 $800 $775
