In addition, we have added a variety of other feed lines. See Feed for products and information. When feed bags break on the mill floor and grain silos spill onto the concrete slabs, the excess is swept into bags and fed to our livestock. We feed our livestock fresh feed milled daily. In addition, the pigs eat cooked eggs that are not suited for sale or eggs that have broken in transit from the chicken house to the processing facility.
Cooked eggs are an excellent source of protein for pigs.
The yolks enhance their skin's subtle outer layer and hooves, protecting them from the harsh weather. The manure from the cleaning of all the chicken houses is sundried, ground and mixed with other proteins for resale to lawn and garden stores, golf courses and gardening enthusiasts. See Fertilizer for more information. Within a specific budget, we try to allot our donation dollars throughout the community. We donate eggs for various egg hunts held by other municipalities during the Easter season, and we fill food bags during Thanksgiving and Christmas.
