CAFO Swine Operation Facility: Heavenly Hogs, Inc. is a family owned and operated farrow to finish operation. The operation is defined as a concentrated animal feeding operation (CAFO) with 1200 sows. Heavenly Hogs, Inc. supplies hogs on contract to Top Quality Pork. There are 6 barns that house swine (gestation, farrowing and four wean to finish buildings). The farm does not have security cameras. Motion detector lights have been installed on all of the barns. The owner lives near the property. The perimeter of the farm is controlled by a 31/2 ft. woven wire fence with 2 strands of barbed wire along the top. The main entrance to the farm is on Hwy PP, and there is a second unmarked, limited access gate also on Hwy PP. This gate is locked except during loading/unloading of animals or equipment. The main gate on Hwy PP has a 12 ft. wide gate that does not lock. Utilities: The farm receives electric power from the local rural electric cooperative, and water is supplied via the local water district. Propane is used as the energy source for heating the facilities. There is one telephone at the facility it is located in the office of the farrowing building. There is a tank for storage of gasoline nest to the equipment shed. There are chemical (pesticides, disinfectants, etc.) storage lockers in the equipment shed. Supplies: Hungry Hog Feed Company 9001 Hwy PP, Porcine, MO (573) supplies complete feed for the entire. All animals are vaccinated with animal health products purchased from a local distributor.. All animal health products are stored in the farrowing building. Computers are used to keep breeding records, keep track of supply deliveries and keep track of contract shipments. Breeding: The sows are artificially inseminated (AI) using semen which is ordered via phone or internet from Hogs R Us, a breeding farm located at 356 Test Tube Road, Nitrogen MO (314) Semen is delivered to Heavenly Hogs via commercial carrier (Fed Ex or UPS). Employees perform the AI procedure, so outside personnel are not required. Female replacements are purchased monthly from Pretty Pigs Inc.( 1432 Hwy SS, Pigstown Illinois).and housed in an isolation facility for 60 days. Waste Management: All buildings use a shallow flush gutter pit system that flows into a 10 acre lagoon which has a fence around the perimeter. The buildings are flushed several times a day. The farm has a cooperative agreement with neighbors to supply manure nutrients to their crops. Terminally sick or injured animals are routinely euthanized by trained employees with disposal of dead animals via composting. Shipping and Receiving: Deliveries of replacement animals, feed or supplies are only accepted at times when an employee can be present to check the packaging integrity and compare the bill of lading to the order. Transporters moving hogs to Processing Plants owned by Top Quality Pork are required to clean trailers before entering the farm. Employees check the identification of the transport drivers before loading the swine. Packages are delivered via a commercial carrier company to the office located in the farrowing building. 1
2 Employees: Heavenly Hog, Inc. employs 4 full time people at the facility. Three (3) full time employees are utilized in the breeding and farrowing operation and one employee is utilized for the wean to finish buildings. One of the full time employees travels back and forth from the main facility to the isolation facility caring for animals at both locations. Approximately 5 part time employees is are used for loading of market weight pigs and on weekends (usually high school students) in addition some are used for power washing facilities between groups of pigs. No employees live on the farm, but all live within 15 miles of the operation. Employees are not allowed to raise or maintain any livestock at their homes. The owner of Heavenly Hog, Inc. checks references on prospective employees during the screening process. The screening process does not include a criminal background check, a credit check or clearance through U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
