Job DescriptionJob Description

At Hord Family Farms, we owe our success to our people and our processes.  Our Sow Production Leader is a supportive force behind both, and we are currently seeking someone to fill this important role.  The ideal candidate will have a minimum of 5 years of experience in swine production and at least 3 years of leadership experience in a swine production environment.  Extensive knowledge and experience in applied sow production, animal husbandry, and standard operating procedures is essential; as are strong organizational, problem solving, and communication skills, with a focus on continuous improvement and team development.

Who We Are:

The Hord family is in its 5th generation of family farming, with over 100 years of farming heritage. Headquartered in North Central Ohio and having satellite locations in Pennsylvania and Minnesota, Hord Farms is a pig, cow, and grain farm, striving to raise our animals with care, and utilizing modern and advanced farming practices to be efficient and sustainable.

A Day in the Life:

  • Champion and embody the Hord culture, vision, mission, and core values; leading by example to inspire direct reports and their teams so that all our practices align with our values and dedication to excellence.
  • Mentor and coach direct reports to align their objectives with organizational goals.  Provide clear expectations, foster a shared vision, and create an environment where team members can thrive.
  • Strategically plan and set production goals for direct reports, ensuring adherence to standard operating procedures through routine farm visits. Your oversight will help maintain our high standards of production and provide your reports with the guidance and development needed to be successful in managing their farm, but also their team.
  • Deliver consistent feedback—both formal and informal—to direct reports, ensuring that their performance aligns with the organizational goals of Hord Farms.
  • Promote the use of system tools to maintain accurate production records and cultivate a culture of continuous improvement and operational efficiency.
  • Lead efforts to implement innovative solutions and improvement protocols that enhance production outcomes and sustainability practices.
  • Reinforce compliance with all company and farm biosecurity and safety procedures, ensuring a safe working environment for all.
  • Drive team engagement and morale, developing a motivated, long-term workforce. Ensure that staffing levels are optimized across sow units to meet production demands effectively.
  • Full time position, 45-50hours per week with minimal travel to satellite locations as needed

What You Need:

  • A High School Diploma, with a Bachelor’s degree or higher in Animal Science or a related field preferred
  • Highly collaborative style and relationship building skills 
  • Ability to manage a variety of key initiatives concurrently
  • High level of detail, self-motivation, and organization to achieve quality results
  • Ability to exercise a high degree of confidentiality and  professionalism
  • Proven record of reliability and a desire to excel
  • No contact with pigs outside the Hord herd

Your Rewards: 

  • Competitive wages based on level of experience
  • 5 personal days and 6 recognized holidays/year + vacation days available 6 months after hire
