The livestock operation is a farrow-to-wean swine operation consisting of 700 females producing 17,000 piglets annually. The piglets are produced for a local network, in which we are investors, that retains ownership of the pigs until they reach market weight.

Our dedication to our animals' comfort, cleanliness, and health, as well as careful breeding stock selection and intense management of our facilities, contributes to a top ten percent ranking among swine operations nationwide. All workers have been certified through the Pork Quality Assurance, Plus program.  PQA Plus is a producer certification program that producers can use to ensure that U.S. pork products are safe and of the highest quality, and that the animals raised for food are cared for in a way that ensures their well-being.  Additionally, all workers have been certified in the Transport Quality Assurance Program.  Transport Quality Assurance is a program that helps swine transporters, producers, and handlers understand how to handle, move, and transport pigs and the potential impacts of those actions on pig well-being and/or pork quality.
