Thanks lol we had plans to build another as its twin but then the market dropped..... We have a contract to Two Mile Pork and we rent out our big barn and our 3 smaller 130 head barns. As of this week it is half empty lol another load will come after christmas sometime.

Nice pics. I have always thought hog operations were neat. I have never been around them much. A good portion of the farmers in this area got where they are today because of hogs. Back in the 70s and 80s about every farmer in the county had a farrowing house and raised hogs. Then the market crapoed and no one has them anymore. There are a lot of empty farrowing houses in the county. Just rotting away.
