The story goes that Joe Gans, the first African-American boxer to win a world title, fought in a match with the formidable Oscar “Battling” Nelson in Nevada. Joe was the favorite in this championship fight for the lightweight title, and the Reno Evening Gazette reported on the event by tugging at readers’ heartstrings. The following telegram Gans received from his mother was read by announcer Larry Sullivan: “Joe, the eyes of the world are on you. Everybody says you ought to win. ” No doubt mom was proud.

We had fifty sows. We turned a boar out with them in the pasture—some of them had pigs when they came in, some of them had pigs out in a hole in the woods, and some of the pigs were born in a straw pile in the winter. Some froze, some made it. ” Then the hog farming business began to change and when the sows looked like they were about to have babies, Steve would bring them in and put them in pens. That way they got more piglets out of the sow and had more to sell. But just when the Wesleys thought they had things figured out, the hog farming business changed yet again.

According to Wesley, “We will give an injection to a pig that is sick, but that pig has to go for a certain amount of time without antibiotics or we won’t be able to sell it. And now most of our vaccines are in the water. ” The adjustments to the gene pool over time have made things more efficient for today’s hog farmers. Whereas before it took five pounds of feed to produce one pound of pork, thanks to genetics now the ratio is two to one.
