About Our Guest:

Joe & Ben Wipf have been in the Pork Industry for over 15 years (Joe for 15 and Ben for 10) originally starting as a farrow to finish Barn. In the Winter of 2017 tragedy struck as the finish Barn caught fire and burned to the ground which was a total loss due to an electrical fixture. The Wipf brothers continued for a year without a finishing Barn raising pigs to anywhere from 20 to 50 pounds and then shipping them. About a year later they decided to build an isowean. 2500 sows batch farrowing, and have continued with that over the last 5 years and to this day.
