WHEREAS, Legred is in the business of developing, producing, marketing, selling
and distributing breeding pigs and their semen; and

WHEREAS, Brent Legred is the President and controlling shareholder of Legred;
and

WHEREAS, the parties wish to set forth the terms pursuant to which there will be
an ongoing relationship between and among themselves.

NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed as follows:

1.         Struthers shall form a wholly owned subsidiary to be incorporated in
           the State of Nevada to be known as Legred Struthers Genetics, Inc.
           ("LSG").

2.         Legred shall lease to Struthers approximately 40 acres of land ("the
           Property") it presently owns in Seely township Section 19 Faribault
           County, Minnesota for One ($1) Dollar per year for a term of 99
           years. The Lease shall be in substantially the form annexed hereto as
           Exhibit "A".

           (a)       The residence of Brent Legred, the president of Legred, is
                     located adjacent to the property and shall continue to be
                     occupied exclusively by Mr. Legred and/or his designees as
                     a residence, the boundaries of which shall be indicated on
                     the survey of the property and annexed hereto as Exhibit
                     "B".

           (b)       Struthers is hereby granted a right of first refusal to
                     purchase Mr. Legred's residence and land as per Exhibit
                     "B". In the event Mr. Legred receives a bona fide written
                     offer therefor, he must immediately notify Struthers
                     thereof and forward a copy of such offer via overnight mail
                     courier to Struthers. Struthers shall then have ten (10)
                     business days after receipt of such written offer to give
                     written notice to Mr. Legred of the exercise of its option
                     to purchase the said residence and land for the same price
                     and upon the same terms as provided for in the said written
                     offer or its rejection thereof. Unless so exercised by
                     Struthers, the option shall terminate. However, if
                     thereafter the sale to the offeror does not take place, or
                     is terminated, or Mr. Legred agrees to seel the residence
                     and land at a lesser price or upon better terms to the same
                     person or entity which made the offer, Struthers' right of
                     first refusal shall remain in effect in like manner for the
                     revised offer from the offeror and/or any subsequent bona
                     fide offer, as the case may be.

                     (c) Struthers shall, at its cost, construct a Boar Stud
                     Facility on the Property capable of housing no less than
                     400 Boar Studs. It is anticipated that the cost of this
                     facility will be approximately $400,000. Within the said
                     facility Struthers shall, at its cost, install all the
                     equipment necessary to process and package Boar semen. The
                     cost of this equipment, installed, is estimated at
                     approximately $100,000.

3.         Upon the payment to Legred of $1 million as provided in paragraph "8"
           hereof, Legred shall transfer and assign to LSG all of Legred's
           assets (exclusive of agreements with third parties which are being
           transferred and assigned simultaneously herewith and for which
           provision is made in paragraph "6" hereof), which consists among
           other things of its personnel and physical assets ("as described in
           Exhibit "C") comprising its production unit; its personnel manning
           its present sales and marketing unit; Legred's customer base, the
           list of which is set forth on Exhibit "D"; its cash on hand and
           receivables; Legred's name, good will and reputation which includes
           that of Brent Legred, its president all of its right title and
           interest in and to its approximately 300 sows or breeding animals and
           100 boars together with all offspring thereof, which includes the
           fifty plus (50+) Stud Boars referenced in paragraph "5" hereof and
           all other offspring which will consist of approximately 3,000 in
           total ("the Animals") along with all interests, sales and contractual
           rights with all gifts multipliers.

4.         Legred covenants and warrants that it owns all of the Property listed
           in Schedule "C", the assets and the Animals free and clear of any
           liens or encumbrances with the exception of loans with the State Bank
           of Easton which will be satisfied at the time of transfer.

5.         Legred will immediately stock the Boar stud facility with and
           transfer all right, title and interest to the approximately fifty
           plus (50+) Stud Boars to LSG. The genetic breeding of those stud
           Boars will commence upon the completion of the facility to house the
           Stud Boars (or sooner if reasonably practical) to increase the number
           of Stud Boars to 400 in number. The sale of their semen will commence
           immediately. The profit from the sale of their semen and the profit
           from the sale of such Boars and/or their offspring shall belong to
           LSG. In lieu of compensation for the fifty plus (50+) Stud Boars,
           Legred will hold a security interest first lien against the Stud Boar
           facility including all Stud Boars and equipment located therein to be
           evidenced by a UCC-1 filing until the full payment of $1 Million
           Dollars has been received by Legred pursuant to paragraph "8" hereof.
           Legred covenants and warrants that this lien will be discharged
           immediately upon completion of the $1 Million Dollar payment. If the
           $1 Million Dollar payment is not made as herein provided, Legred may
           foreclose under the lien for the amount not paid.

6.         Legred shall assign to LSG all its right, title and interest in and
           to all of its agreements with third parties including that with
           Norsvin International, a copy of which is annexed hereto and made a
           part hereof and all of which contracts are listed by name and date on
           Exhibit "F" with copies of same annexed thereto and made a part
           hereof.

                     become free trading shall, when added to the value of the
                     restricted shares which became free trading be such that

                     free trading when added to the value of these shares equals
                     a total value of $1,000,000 based upon the market price of

           payment thereof and shall pay same for LSG.

12.        This agreement represents the entire agreement between the parties
           hereto, and there are no agreements, understandings or undertakings
           except as set forth herein. All prior negotiations and writings
           between the parties and their representatives are superseded hereby.
           This agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented except by
           a writing, duly and properly executed, and no term, condition or
           covenant hereof may be waived other than by such writing.

13.        Whenever any notice ("Notice") shall or may be given by one party to
           the other, such Notice shall be in writing and addressed to the
           parties at their respective addresses as set forth in this Agreement
           and served by (i) a nationally recognized overnight express courier,
           or (ii) registered or certified postage paid mail return receipt
           requested. The date the Notice is received shall be the date of
           service of Notice. In the event an addressee refuses to accept
           delivery, however, then Notice shall be deemed to have been served on
           either (i) the next business day after the Notice was sent in the
           case of attempted delivery by overnight courier, or (ii) five (5)
           business days after mailing the notice in the case of registered or
           certified mail. Either party may, at any time, change its Notice
           address by giving the other party Notice thereof, in accordance with
           this paragraph "13".

           IN WITNESS THEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Agreement as
of the date first heretofore written.

disposal; Legred shall Exploit Norsvin International's Products and Technology
in its crossbreeding program for the purpose of producing Derived Products to be
sold in the Territory.

Hence Norsvin International grants to Legred the non-exclusive distributorship
for its Derived Products in the Territory.

In particular, Norsvin International shall supply Legred with AI Boars, and
Legred shall Exploit the semen produced by these boars for five purposes:

(1)To inseminate female GGP Breeding Pigs in Legred's breeding facilities, for
the purpose of producing GGP Breeding Pigs that carry genes derived form
NORSVIN'S Genetic Materials; hence NORSVIN'S Genetic Materials are immigrated
into Legred's genetic populations and these populations become linked to
NORSVIN'S genetic improvement.

<PAGE>

(2) To inseminate female GGP Breeding Pigs in Legred's breeding facilities, for
the purpose of producing GP Breeding Pigs that carry genes derived from
NORSVIN'S Genetic Materials, to be Exploited (in the facilities of Legred or of
Legred's contracted Multipliers) for the production of Parent Breeding Pigs to
be sold in the Territory.

(3) To inseminate female GP Breeding Pigs in Legred's breeding facilities, for
the purpose of producing Parent Breeding Pigs that carry genes derived from

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.       These conditions apply to all sales of Products rom Norsvin
         International AS (hereafter called "Norsvin International") without
         exception, and supersede all other previous conditions, unless
         specified in Norsvin International's order confirmations or otherwise
         agreed in writing between Norsvin International and its customer.

         claiming liquidated damages or any other compensation.

7.       Delays due to the carrier, after delivery to the carrier, or delays
         related to transportation which are not due to Norsvin International,

         of fresh boar semen is delayed by more than 24 hours, the semen costs
         will be reimbursed by Norsvin International by means of delivery free
         of charge of the same amount and quality of semen in following

         transport costs in all cases, as described in clause 10.

         expenses regarding sanitary reports, requested stocking and

         limitation does not apply in case of gross negligence or willful
         misconduct. Norsvin International shall in no case be liable for
         consequential damages or indirect loses, such as loss of profit,
         business interruption, or loss of production.

         defective Products, if it does not give Norsvin International notice as

         of fourteen calendar days from the day the defect became apparent.

         Commerce in Paris (ICC publication no. 421) applies to these
         conditions. If a Force Majeure event should prevent the customer from
         taking delivery of the Products, and if it has informed Norsvin
         International in due time before delivery, it shall be entitled to
         cancel the order when there is a risk of loss.

19.      These conditions and any related sales agreement shall be governed by
         the Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Products of
         1980, supplemented, when insufficient, by Norwegian laws for legal
         fields outside the scope of this convention.

         with these and any related sales agreement shall be finally settled by
         arbitration in accordance with the Rules of the Arbitration Institute
         of the Oslo Chamber of Commerce, in English, in Oslo with a single
         arbitrator. This provision shall not limit the right of the parties to
         apply for interlocutory measures, or exclude Norsvin International's
         right to obtain payment through debt recovery procedures.

April 24, 1996

Mr. Brent Legred
3500 490th Avenue
Bricelyn, MN 56014

Dear Mr. Legred:

At your request I have reviewed the proposed cooperation agreement between
Norsvin International AS and Legred Genetics, Inc. My experience is in
agricultural law and I am engaged in general practice in Faribault County,
Minnesota. I am not a specialist in anti-trust laws or corporate monopolies. I
have generally familiarized myself with the provisions of the Sherman Anti-Trust
Act and Minnesota corporate anti-trust law. I did not find anything within the
agreement which would violate the provisions of either Federal or state law. I
would caution bot parties to the agreement on the implementation of the
agreement, particularly in the development of the exploitation plan. You should
keep in mind that the anti-trust laws are designed to prevent monopolistic and
other anti-competitive action. You are, however, entitled to maintain trade
secrets and to develop and market your product in a competitive manner. You
should avoid doing this in a manner that would be designed to minimize or
eliminate competition.

Very truly yours,

FRUNDT, JOHNSON & ROVERUD, LTD.
