Hog farmer Henkel shares lessons from a pestilent past
The interview centers on Henkel managing a 30 acre hog operation. He recounts building a herd of 125 purebred Yorkshire sows, using by hand raised litters, and moving pigs to trailer pens during early disease outbreaks. He notes 73 percent litter survival, SPF stock sourcing, disease checks by the University of Pennsylvania, and reliance on lab buyers for premiums while keeping feed costs low.
