Show Notes
Today I get to profile another national star finalist. Murdock Wynn will be up on the stage in Indianapolis just days after this interview is released. How did he get there? Working on his families farm on a sow to weaner operation.
The numbers of pigs they are raising there is staggering. With their sow numbers they are raising around 65,000 pigs per year and selling them. Those are unbelievable numbers. Something a very casual pig farmer like myself cannot even imagine.
Making this number even more unbelievable is the amount of artificial insemenation that takes place to keep the sows bred and producing pigs. It is really phenomenal.
If this were not enough, Murdock and his family also raise commercial cattle on their land. Murdock has dove right in, and is also studying agricultural business at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College in Southern Georgia.
