flag Montana opens first biosecure boar stud, boosting local pig genetics and farm profits.

flag Montana has opened its first boar stud facility near Cascade, a biosecure operation owned by Hutterite colonies and developed with Pork Storks of Montana. flag The facility houses 412 boars and produces semen for over 100,000 litters annually, supplying 35 Hutterite farms with deliveries two to three times weekly. flag Backed by a $150,000 state grant and local development support, the project reduces reliance on out-of-state genetics, improves herd health, and boosts the value of Montana piglets, which command a $10 to $15 premium. flag Strict biosecurity measures, including sanitized entry, controlled airflow, and isolation zones, help prevent disease. flag Officials say the facility strengthens local agriculture, supports rural innovation, and keeps economic benefits within the state.
