This may look gross to some but it's a thing of beauty to the farm crew! New chain, paddles, corner wheels and hold-downs on the Gestation/Farrowing end after 21 years. 😍

It's that time of year again! Whether you bought show pigs from us or one of the many great producers in the state, please remember that pigs can sunburn and caution should be taken as mother nature hopefully graces us with nicer weather!

Every 5 weeks we breed a batch of sows utilizing fixed-time insemenation and P.C.A.I, if you're interested in how these processes might be able to help you, give us a call.
