Country’s First All-Steel Swine Barn Built in South Dakota

The United States’ first all-steel swine facility opened in Bradley, South Dakota the first week of July.

Eight different farming entities own the building and livestock. However, professional on-site management will be provided by Pipestone, a company dedicated to providing farmers with resources.

Doing vaccinations when life happens. It is not always rosy working with cattle or any livestock. Including people and dogs, ha aha.
