Garth Pig Stockmanship Standards
Displaying Stockmanship Standards Overview
This section of the web site provides a collection of Stockmanship Standards collated by Dr John Carr (presently Iowa State University), and Garth Veterinary Group, as published in the Booklet "Garth Pig Stockmanship Standards" by 5M Enterprises Limited owners of www.thePigSite.com. The information was written for the UK market, however most of the information is equally relevant to producers the world over. This information is also available in our book Garth Pig Stockmanship Standards, priced at £7.95 + post and packing. A great little book for every farm manager.
