Farm and critter business often limits our fun and family time so we decided to check in with Roger and Marcia Gerdes since we were only 2 hours away. Thanks for welcoming us into your beautiful home and for a fantastic meal. Great to take a little time for friends and thanks to the crew at home for giving us a day off!

Heading to SE Kansas tomorrow night with a trailer. Not sure if we'll take I29 or old 75 but holler at Jim if you need anything, we'll have an empty compartment but a fairly tight schedule.

Summer Spotlight fundraiser tonight! Help yourself to fun items like food and golf or get ready for next season with a semen or genetics package. Find it all at The Wendt Group Inc to help support youth livestock. Thanks! I should add that we are donating a $500 buyer credit on the sale, good for piglets or breeding stock.

Hate to be captain obvious but if you're new to the hog business understand this- your fastest growing hogs are almost always the longest bodied and you'll never wean over 10 pigs per litter if your females aren't long. Yes hogs need to be rugged and 3 dimensional but long and productive should never have become dirty words in some purebred circles.

Hot weather is tough on good sows- feed those females early in the morning and late evening when it is cooler. Try wet feed and try this-

Getting some great pics lately from customers and got some great pics of customers! Thanks all for the farm visits and nice words- we'll keep working hard to be your preferred supplier (but we gotta squeeze some haying and spraying in as well....lol)!

Woke up to cattle out and baby pigs born outside so Jim and Sharon had to hustle. Cows got moved to our best grass, weaned some sows, moved a couple litters into nursery pens and had room to get our June 10 gilt group in the crates. Got just enough of a shower to put a little shine on the outside hogs but sure would like more! Watch those critters this week - it's gonna be a hot one.

"When you hold the sow that looks like she'll go past her due date in a Nursery pen she will always pig before the ones that you had put in the crates." Harry S Truman (probably). 😂

We needed room so we moved a couple groups of young boars outside today. Yesterday we moved their mammas into the farrowing house. Big Stout Productive Sows = High Performance Boars!
