DurOcs Profitable

The Carroll County Duroc
Jersey association asserts that
experience has demonstrated
that the Duroc Jersey is the
best all purpose and most profit
able hog to grow. Breeders of
Durocs are topping the market
and making more money, the
association says, than men who
grow other breeds. The pig
club boys who grow Durocs
made much greater profit than
those handling other breeds.
The Duroc is growing rapidly in
