An accredited veterinarian has verified the pregnancy status, and all consignments have fulfilled specific health requirements.

Nothing Slows Down on a Pig Farm

Video: Nothing Slows Down on a Pig Farm



50 yards of concrete went down at the Manure Seperation building today. Forms set, rebar tied, gravel packed, and the trucks running one after another until the pad is poured and the crew is finishing it flat.

And because nothing on a pig farm waits for you to finish one job, the semi shows up while the concrete's still wet. Tork and I unload another load of pigs into the barn, get them sorted into pens, and walk the barn once they're settled. Two big jobs, one day, and both of them had to happen.
