Our owners put their money in our hands. Our producer-owners epitomize sustainable agriculture when they use their own corn to feed their pigs and their own manure to feed their corn. Potential for career advancement within the System enables employees to stay close to home and close to the livestock industry they love.
Supervisors, veterinary professionals, and employees embrace System core values that emphasize ethical treatment for animals. Animal health products, feed, veterinary services, and employee benefit packages are all more cost-effective because of System buying power. On their own, shareholders cannot tap economies of scale available through the System. Sow barn employees are hired, trained, compensated, and motivated through Pipestone Management. Each owner receives an allotment of pigs based on shares owned and preferred schedule. Few owners knew each other before they decided to invest in a new barn.
Our Pipestone Management owners are family farmers with a stake in the farming communities surrounding our barns. Here’s how we preserve livestock ownership close to home: Through common ownership in a sow farm, our local owners are provided a healthy baby pig and the opportunity to raise those pigs their own way and keep all their profits!
Our shareholders are family farmers staking a claim in the pork industry. Everybody knows today’s employee benefit package is too costly for a single farm family to absorb. Good genetics and modern sow barns require huge investments. Labor-intensive breeding and farrowing can really wear one person down. We’re a different kind of swine company, driven by a professional management team focused on animal health and production.
