Swine Genetics with Randy Shipley

On this episode of the Maine Farmcast, Dr. Knight sits down and talks to Mr. Randy Shipley of Shipley Swine genetics. Shipley Swine Genetics is a top Boar Stud operation that provides high quality semen, bred gilts, and boars to producers across the nation. Randy joined us here in Maine to deliver a youth swine judging clinic in Cumberland, Maine. While he was here, I wanted to hear more about his story, operation, and his take on cross breeding pigs, boar selection, and artificial insemination.
