Sustainability

Morgan and Casey Lobdell raise pigs and sheep with their families near Mineral Point. Morgan and Casey both grew up showing pigs and sheep in 4-H at their county fair and the Wisconsin State Fair. Now, they raise 35 pigs and sell them to 4-H and FFA youth across the country. As young farmers, the Lobdell’s are seeking out management techniques that will make their farm financially viable and sustainable for the long term. They want to breed pigs that will perform well in the show ring and contribute to the genetic advancement of the pork industry.
