Natural Berkshire Pork

    Diamond Livestock is a family operation that is owned and operated by Rodney and Austin Reinick. Our herd consists of 60 show pig sows. We also have 130 Natural Berkshire Meat sows.

      Our farm has been raising show pigs and breeding stock since 1958. Our number one priority is to put together the best genetics to generate show pigs and breeding stock that will excel in the show ring 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.
