In this episode, Brent Hershey shares his firsthand experience operating a Prop 12-compliant sow housing system—twoyears in. From the design of individual sow condos and group gestation pens to surprising performance metrics, Brent dives into how Hershey Ag is making it work.

We discuss labor efficiency compared to crate systems, the impressive farrowing and pregnancy rates they're achieving, and how sow mortality has decreased. Brent also shares insights on how they're consistently hitting over 30 pigs per sow per year, their strategies for reducing heat stress, and what’s next for this scalable housing model.

Whether you’re already transitioning or still on the fence, this is a must-watch for producers seeking real-world results from Prop 12 housing.
