3. About Us
Diamond Livestock is a family operation that is owned and operated by Rod, Tammy, Amber, Austin, and Abigail Reinick. Our herd consists of 30 Chester, Hampshire, Yorkshire, and Crossbred showpig and breeding stock sows. We also have 40 (and growing) Natural Berkshire Meat sows.
Our farm has been raising showpigs and breeding stock since Amber, Austin, and Abby are third generation swine producers. Our number one priority is to put together the best genetics to generate showpigs and breeding stock that will excel in the showring and in meat quality. We love to work with the youth and to provide them with a memorable, and informational output about the swine industry. Undoubtedly, the swine industry has the best people, and we look forward to working with new people and becoming friends.
