Sioux Preme
Packing Company’s live hog buying program has always
been unique in the fact that we consider ourselves not
being “mainstream”.
Currently
our procurement program has many options for your
marketing needs. We continue to purchase light hogs
(weighing 150-230# live weight), market weight butcher
hogs (weighing 230-290# live weight), heavy cull gilts
(weighing 300-350# live weight), roaster pigs (weighing
80-150# live weight) and butcher size, intact boars
(weighing 200-300# live weight).
Sioux-Preme has provided herd health "slaughter checks"
as a service to our producers for many years. These
checks, provided either through your personal vet or a
vet from the local area, allow you to get first-hand
information on your herd health, not only for the
current group you are marketing, but also health trends
that can be identified in order to react quickly to any
potential health problems in future groups to be
marketed.
Another major area of focus at Sioux Preme is meat
quality. Meat quality is more important than just the
leanness of the carcass. Meat quality factors include
water-holding capacity, color and taste. Sioux Preme
has been performing meat quality evaluations since 2002
for many producers, purebred breeders, swine genetic
companies, pharmaceutical companies, and feed companies
requesting these quality evaluations on a monthly basis.
We realize meat quality information is important to
everyone in this business from producer/supply side to
consumer/demand side.
