We raise our animals in modern livestock facilities. They are designed to maximize animal comfort. When livestock is raised in a well maintained facility, we, as farmers, are able to focus our time on animal health. AKR Farm has several hog buildings which are custom feeding operations. The manure they produce is used to fertilize our row crops. A monoslope cattle barn houses cattle until they are ready to be sold for beef. Feeder cattle come in at around 400-800 lbs and leave at around 1,300 lbs.
