[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 329628, member: 2095"] He said gestation crate NOT farrowing crate. Those are two different things. The farrowing crate protects baby pigs from stupid sows (we still lose ~10% most too crushing even with the crates and the pig lamps (or mats). The gestation crates are just a management tool too keep as many sows as humanly possible in a barn as well as provide them with individualized care. I always thought the maintenance on all those steel cages was not worth the trouble. [/QUOTE]
