Pork testing station showcases sired hog quality program
A 24 by 88 foot testing station with 12 oak pens per side and a center alley houses half commercial hog producers and half breeders. The superior meat sire test drives breeding stock through a warm frame facility with forced air cooling, concrete slatted floors, no bedding, and automated feeding. Nozzle pig waterers from Germany deter scratching, drinkers lift heads to prevent contamination, and manure is pumped out three to four times yearly. PPA and Yoder Inc sponsor free pig pickups as pork quality aims to rise.
