The Compart Program features Duroc, Yorkshire, and Landrace breeds. We sell boars, open gilts and fresh semen.
This is a family operation where you deal with family members who are involved in the day-to-day management of the hogs. Ultimately, we are concerned about producing pork in a manner that will be profitable for the producer, and result in a satisfied consumer.
For over 50 years customers have relied on Comparts for practical, sound, performance oriented breeding stock. Since it’s inception, the Compart Program has been built around performance testing. In fact, we were the first breeders in Minnesota to start an on-farm performance testing program, and were very involved with progeny testing at the Minnesota Swine Evaluation Station at New Ulm, MN.
As times have changed so have methods of testing. Now we practice total herd testing, where virtually all pureline boars, gilts and barrows are tested for growth, leanness, loineye and muscle quality traits. In addition, maternal performance data is collected including number born, number weaned, and 21-day litter weights. This data is sent to the National Swine Registry (NSR) and is made a part of the largest database of its kind in the world. Comparts is one of the largest participants in this program. |
