Cambre and Chelsea currently have 350 sows on their farrow to wean farm in southwest Missouri.

Join me as I check in with Dr. Bradley about the 2023 World Pork Expo. We discuss about hers and Swine Web's partnership. The mood at the show
(Prop 12, Labour, Market Conditions) We review some great interviews she had at the show, what she learned, what surprised her, trends, the future of consolidation and the return of the Real P3 podcast.
About our guest
Dr. Casey L. Bradley founded the Sunswine Group. After working for over 20 years in the swine industry, from production to academia to a feed
company to feed additives, Casey dreamed of creating a business to transform how we measure success in livestock production. The sink or
swim mentality is firmly embedded in the culture of livestock production, but there has to be a new way to transform how people,
animals, and companies succeed. First, it starts with knowledge and how we share knowledge. Second, it is how big we can dream and then create a
plan to make that dream a reality. The main objectives of The Sunswine Group are to share knowledge that will mentor future leaders and
transform innovation while creating a neural network of expertise to help any person, animal or company succeed.

May 30, 2023 Thriving, and continued education in the Swine Industry, with Victoria Wilson.
About Our Guest
Victoria Wilson is no stranger to animal agriculture, as she grew up riding horses and competing in rodeo. What she did not know is that she would fall into animal nutrition as a career. Hailing from St. Charles, MO, Victoria has made her way around the Midwest. When she initially decided to attend the University of Missouri for her BS in Animal Science, she had her sight set on reproduction focused in equine and beef cattle. After trying something new in swine and poultry, she discovered a love for the challenge of nutrition and how it impacts every aspect of production in livestock. She took a leap and made her way up to Ames, IA to attend Iowa State University for a MS focused in monogastric nutrition. Her thesis research focused on enteric inducers of oxidative stress and their impact on nursery pigs. Following her time at Iowa State, Victoria took a year in industry working as a feed mill coordinator for Seaboard Foods in Guymon, OK, focusing on ingredient and feed quality, working with farm management on feed ordering and optimization of feed delivery relative to biosecurity. Combined with her career aspirations and new knowledge of feed manufacturing, Victoria is now pursuing a PhD in Feed Science at Kansas State University.
