A passion for people and pigs🐽 Amanda Middleton’s 16-year career with PIC is defined by her dedication to both people and pigs. Embodying PIC’s motto, “Never Stop Improving,” Amanda strives to provide the best genetics to our customers, taking pride in knowing her efforts lead to better outcomes for producers. Amanda’s time with PIC has been filled with experiences that highlight the strong sense of community within the company. Reflecting on these moments, she shares, “The people here go above and beyond what they have to, and that means a lot.” While Amanda certainly enjoys the people she works with, her love for pigs is equally profound. After previously spending time working in the lab, she was eager to return to the barn and engage directly with the animals. Now, as production supervisor, she oversees the well-being of all the pigs on the farm—a role that perfectly aligns with her passion.

This training and certification process takes place in our owned facilities and at our partner multiplier locations, guaranteeing that only the best gilts are consistently chosen based on a clear set of standards. ProSelect isn't just for us—it's also available to our customer farms. By extending ProSelect training, we help our customers select only the best gilts consistently, setting their farms up for greater P3 retention. ➡️Learn more or schedule a training today! https://bit.ly/3xKNvCh #PICGenetics #Swine #PorkProduction
