What is Swinelink and how does it help a new grower obtain a steady income?  Hosts Sal Sama and Jeff Jarrett are joined by special guest Dan Vague in the podcast room for this episode of The High Ground powered by Premier Companies.  As the VP of Swine Production for Premier Companies, Dan has had a front row seat to the ups and downs of the swine market over the last year and knows exactly how Premier runs their swine program.

Dan, Jeff, and Sal will share some insight into the feed efficiency and barn management practices in addition to the changes Premier has seen in the number of hogs in their program.  You’ll also hear how Swinelink works and how growers can benefit from their participation in that program to have steady income without the risk of hog ownership.  Dan will also recap Premier’s care philosophy and how they ensure their livestock are being cared for properly including the steps taken to minimize the spread of disease.  “A healthy happy pig is gonna perform the best, and we’re gonna make the most money off of that…  So that’s our goal, is to keep them as comfortable and happy as possible.”
