LLCC Participating in New Livestock Apprenticeship Program

The IL Pork Producers Association has announced a new livestock apprenticeship program that has recently been registered with the U.S. Department of Labor with the help of the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity. This new apprenticeship opportunity will prepare career seekers to succeed in the role of swine animal care technician. Participating apprentices will receive competitive compensation that will increase with their skill gains as they move through the program. Apprentices will also receive a debt-free education and livestock certificate from one of the five participating community colleges, of which Lincoln Land Community College is one.

In Memory Of Gladiator | THE BEST RAM EVER!

Video: In Memory Of Gladiator | THE BEST RAM EVER!


This video is in memory of my favourite ram of all time, our Suffolk ram Gladiator who was, and will always be, the best ram ever! He had a huge impact not only on our flock by producing so many replacements for us and was our most asked for ram as a sire for both ewes and rams going to other farms. He was also popular with visitors who were amazed by his size and kind disposition. He truly was a gentle giant who people liked to get their photos with. He passed away at home at seven and a half years old. We vowed he would stay here forever and he did. He will be greatly missed and he is irreplaceable in my eyes! Love you Gladiator
