1. Budget for a sow farrowing twice a year using gestation, farrowing, and nursery facilities.
2. Feeder pigs are sold at 50 lbs.  A sow lasts for 4 litters and weighs 425 lbs. when sold.
	Non-breeders are sold at 300 lbs. and boars are sold at 425 lbs.
3. Production records show that a portion of the sows exposed do not have two litters,
	leading to a 15.0 pig per sow average - 0.50 pig saved as replacement.
4. Includes $1.60/pig sold, $1.50/cwt of cull breeding stock.
5. 25% of all variable costs, except marketing and interest, for 12 months at 9%.
6. Includes sow at $150 and 50% of a gilt at $100.
7. Estimated new costs of equipment and buildings per sow and 2 litters assuming sows
	are farrowed 8 times per year.
