With Prop 12 being a prominent challenge in the Pork Industry Todd Heisterkamp Executive Director at Crystal Spring Hog Equipment LTD joins our program again. We review what he is hearing about Prop 12, solutions such as the "Freedom Stall" free-access stall which can be used as a "stand-lone" system where every sow in the gestation groups  has one stall for her to go into in order to eat or get away from the  rest of the group for the entire gestation period.  We end on words of  encouragement, myths, and a final thought.

Thrasher Family Farms, is a first generation farm with a passionate young owner with a love for Farming. We learn about the Farm purchase in 2016 and the converting of the old Dairy operation to a more modern Swine facility. We discuss his niche company/growth since that time and how Cambre's previous experience with Cargill/JBS helped prepare him. We discuss in depth about opportunities and challenges for small family farms , and how he is living his dream. We touch on some hot topics (Prop 12, and Better Tasting Pork), and Cambre ends with his final thoughts on what the Pork Industry needs to know.About our Guest Cambre has been involved with raising pigs since he was a young boy. Growing up on a small farm in Northeast Missouri, Cambre spent many hours helping in the large sow unit his dad managed nearby. Later, Cambre started his own small sow herd while in high school. After graduating, Cambre enrolled in College of the Ozarks where he worked on the school’s hog farm to pay his tuition. In 2007, Cambre met his wife Chelsea who also worked at the college’s hog farm. After graduating, they got married and Cambre began his career as a field representative for Cargill Pork where he was able to expand his experience in the pork industry. In 2017, God provided an opportunity for Cambre and Chelsea to buy a farm and start their own hog operation. Cambre and Chelsea currently have 350 sows on their farrow to wean farm in southwest Missouri. Selling pigs through a niche company has provided a marketing channel and allowed Cambre to enter the agriculture industry as a producer.

Casey Bradley

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 guestDr. 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.

Victoria Wilson

About Our GuestVictoria 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.
