Where? This farm is in Cambridge Illinois. I simplified for the post but they are a hog operation. They trade with other livestock farmers and there was also beef, elk, and bison at the cookout. All good, but I’m especially fond of elk. My grandfather was a big promoter of Aberdeen Angus in Illinois.
Kansas State. I just had a young man from Illinois in my office yesterday. He is planning to finish his education here after a 2 year stint at a juco in Illinois (he told me but I have forgotten). He wants to establish residency here first so I helped line him up with some potential employment for a year at a couple feed yards in SW Kansas.
Although I am a beef guy I do love my pork and even a little lamb.
