They Move Hog Huts Inside for Farrowing
 ✖  |
From June to September, Mary and Brian Recker, Bernard, Iowa, use their 50 by 104-ft. machine shed to store equipment as well as for temporary storage of hay and grain. But when winter comes, they clear it out to make room for the hog huts which they bring in from pasture for cold-weather far-rowing.
A ridge vent and the 14 by 20-ft. doors provide ventilation. No supplemental heat is needed. Walk-in side doors open to outside pens where sows are fed and watered. Wire panels between hutches keep sows in their own alleys.
