[AT] old expressions

[Lyle Myles]

I was raised on one of the largest hog farms in Ohio that was run buy my
relatives in Hardin County. My cousin who actual ran the hog operation when
I was just a youngster would get upset with me and say that to me. For me I
was more into the sheep side of the farm and the corps so the information
you gave me is very interesting and the next time I see my cousin I will
share this with him but I'm sure that he probably already know this.

May the Lord be with each and everyone this beautiful day that the Lord has
given each and every one of us to enjoy and behold!

Here in Ohio we say, YOU'RE ABOUT AS USEFUL AS TITS ON A BOAR HOG.

Hog breeding research turned this one around years ago.  It seems that the
number and spacing of teats on the boar hog is what controls the number and
spacing on the offspring of that boar.  If we want 12 evenly spaced teats on
our replacement gilts, we need the same thing on the boar we are using to
rear these replacements.

But it still sounds good.

BTW I am thankful that I don't have to raise hogs for a living any more, but
I am grateful for the opportunity and education furnished by that time in my
life.
