Management

Farmers invest in sow farms alongside like-minded independent farmers, retaining ownership while entrusting us to manage the breed-to-wean process. This partnership allows farmers to focus on finishing pigs and managing their operations. They receive a proportional allotment of wean pigs based on their shares.

Animal health is at the heart of everything we do. Through rigorous biosecurity measures, advanced research, and innovative processes, we ensure a consistent supply of high health wean pigs.

We maintain strict biosecurity measures to prevent disease and ensure the health of every pig. Our farms implement a comprehensive set of protocols for visitors and staff and utilize advanced air filtration systems. We provide bio-secure, temperature-controlled transportation services for wean pigs, ensuring they arrive at their destination in optimal health.

Whether for new builds or renovations, we ensure farm layouts follow the industry’s best practices. Additionally, we provide comprehensive asset management, including repairs and maintenance, to keep farm infrastructure in top condition for long-term success.

At Pipestone, we prioritize animal welfare, ensuring our caregivers are trained year-round to assess the well-being of pigs. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for neglect or abuse, supported by regular audits and expert guidance. We emphasize safety and provide comprehensive training.

Pipestone Management is backed by a dedicated team that oversees all aspects of farm operations, from staffing and training to managing breeding and weaning. We work closely with Pipestone experts in animal health, nutrition, accounting, production record-keeping, and other key areas to ensure optimal farm performance.
