Why is there a pig hidden on every web page?
Because it was the hogs that let Aldrich Tree Farm make a profit since 1883, when Frederick Aldrich first brought 3 Large White sows onto the farm. No other swine, except breeding boars have ever been brought onto the farm. Every other pig has been born on the farm. At the turn of the last century (1900), it took 18 months to raise a hog to market weight of 400 lbs. At the turn of this century (2000) a pig will reach market weight (200 lbs) in under 6 months .
