Mumford, Ann Arbor, Michigan; sold for $2200 to Thomas Johnson of Ohio in the International Duroc-Jersey sow sale, December 3, 191S. From photograph by E. K. Emshe comment:2 "I have always maintained that we must have big type Durocs, and that means 900-pound mature boars, 700-pound mature sows, and a yearling that can be made to weigh 500 pounds if you want him to do it. But never lose sight of feeding quality or the feet and legs to carry ; The Duroc-Jersey as a grazer seems suited to such pasture as other breeds will do well on, and for this reason is a favorite to-day with many farmers. On blue grass, clover, and alfalfa it thrives ^ The letter "n " after the numher signifies registry in the American Duroc- Jersey Association, while " n " stands for the National Association. ^ Duroc Bulletin, March 15, 1917.
