The Squeal_0248: REPLAY_Wean-to-Finish and Sow Farm Effective Communication – The Squeal
This episode of The Squeal is a replay worth revisiting. Transporting weaned pigs from the sow farm to the next phase of production comes with plenty of moving parts, and strong communication between teams can make all the difference. Hosted by Brie Quick (PIC Technical Services Manager), this conversation brings together real-world perspectives from Chad Bermel and Ted Recker of Brenneman Pork, who share the communication practices that work best within their operation and why alignment between sow farms and wean-finish sites is so critical. The discussion is rounded out by insights from Brad Schimmer (PIC Technical Services Manager), who draws from his experience working with sow farms across North America to highlight common gaps and practical ways communication can be strengthened.
