It's time for a story incase anyone doesn't grasp the importance of a packing plant being open. On Wednesday I loaded the last market weight pigs out of one of the finishing barns. They went to a #Smithfield packing plant in southeast Nebraska. #realpigfarming #nepork
By this morning the barn was cleaned out and I moved the pigs that were in the nursery into the barn that I emptied 3 days ago.
Monday I will clean the nursery and Wednesday I will wean the pigs in the farrowing barn, moving those piglets into the nursery.
