HUMANE IS IN OUR HERITAGE
At Glencoe Pork Co. we are proud of our humane handling and attention to detail. We are grateful to partner with our local pork producers, who work hard to protect and promote animal wellbeing. We have built successful relationships with our producers to assure humane handling and that the herd’s health is to our high standards and safe for our customers.
By working with only local pork producers, we can ensure that our product meets or exceeds the Glencoe Pork Co. standards and USDA guidelines for federally inspected pork. We require all our pork producers to be fully trained in Pork Quality Assurance (PQA) and obtain their National Pork Producers Association Certification. Animal health is step one for providing our customer’s world-class Duroc Pork. You can taste the difference.
We go above and beyond for the health of our supply chain. Glencoe Pork Company processes Duroc pigs that are considered a High Health Status Herd™. The qualifications for High Health Status Herd™ exceed the normal standards set by the National SPF Swine Accrediting Agency. The National SPF accredited herds are only required to be clinically free of symptoms of seven specific pathogens based on the results of the farm and slaughter inspections. We maintain that our animals must be serologically and clinically negative to the agents that cause these pathogens. The Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory at the University of Minnesota, St. Paul, Minnesota, monitors herd health. This extensive testing validates the High Herd Health Status Herd™ of the animals offered by Glencoe Pork Co.
GLENCOE PORK CO.
Glencoe Pork Co. is found in McLeod County about 50 miles outside of Minneapolis in the agricultural town of Glencoe, MN. Our Duroc Pork operation has been in business for over 30 years, formally under ‘Mrs. Pork’. We’ve remained a family-owned business specializing in producing pork humanely and naturally and are appreciative of our small-town roots and the family we have built-in Glencoe, MN.
In 2015 Mrs. Pork became a part of the Rosen’s Diversified Inc. (RDI) family of Minnesota. RDI began in the hog business in 1946 and brings a complimentary family experience with 70 plus years in the protein and agriculture industry. This move has allowed us to stay true to what we believe while strengthening our position in this industry and providing more opportunities. Within this transition, we became Glencoe Pork Co.
