EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming print titled "At their first weigh-in two weeks and 1 day old they weigh 14 pounds" we catch a glimpse of the early days on farmer Fred's farm back in October 1953. Farmer Fred's son takes charge of the weighing, carefully cradling one adorable piglet in his arms. The contented expression on the piglet's face speaks volumes about its comfort and trust in human hands. This snapshot captures a crucial moment for these young piglets as they embark on their journey towards growth and development. At just over two weeks old, they already tip the scales at an impressive 14 pounds, setting them well ahead of expectations. By three weeks, these little ones should ideally reach between 16 to 17 pounds - a target that seems easily attainable for this healthy bunch. The photograph not only showcases the significance of measuring livestock weight but also highlights the close bond between humans and animals within farming communities. It is evident that both farmer Fred's son and his porcine companion share a special connection built upon care, compassion, and perhaps even some lighthearted humor. As we delve into this nostalgic image from Memory Lane Prints, it serves as a reminder of simpler times when agriculture played an essential role in sustaining livelihoods worldwide.
