Back in the day when everyone was searching to find the family linage and genealogy we at C.R. Smith & Son were raising and selling purebred Duroc hogs.
Each animal sold as breeding stock was required to have a pedigree as evidenced by such a document attached. This document was registered with the United Duroc Association in Peoria, IL.
In the upper right is the ear notch of each pig in a litter. On the registration was the name of the respective piglet along with parents and grandparents and registration numbers, date of farrowing (birth), and how many males and females were in the litter. It took many people working in the office in Peoria to keep all of this information documented and recorded. To a certain extent this still goes on today but far easier with computers and instead of names only numbers are used.
The picture on the document is me, Jim Smith, feeding the pigs and my younger brother Joe Smith watching.
