Summary
Swine Specialist. I am highly motivated to help growers and customers meet their goals in the swine industry. At my previous employer with Purina/ Cooperative Farmers Elevator, I was tasked with overseeing the herd health of around 45,000/ pig spaces. Whether that would be grading pigs in, to marking the fats out. I also would meet with independent producers at their barns and help them with any needs they have. (Ventilation, health, feeder settings, pulling pigs down, etc. ) Also, worked with a few independent sow units on isowean placement.
