More Acronyms (OMG)

Dave, MealMeter, PigEasy, PigEasy FamilyBy Katie HoltzAugust 17, 2018Leave a comment

For some time now, Katie, PigEasy’s Director of Marketing (DOM)… (daughter of mine)…. has been encouraging me (nagging me) to pen some blogs that elaborate on what makes the MealMeter System (MMS) the clear tool of choice for feeding sows.   Since its inception at Klocke Farms, we have continued to refine its use to…

I get to celebrate my 3rd Mother’s Day as a Mom this weekend.  My husband likes to start the day off by treating me to an “authentic” Mother’s Day breakfast in bed. This involves soggy cereal, a cup of orange juice and a mug of coffee. (Not to worry, there are usually some lovely flowers or a…

Sage Advice leads to Unique Perspective

  “Keep your mouth shut, your eyes and ears open and maybe you’ll learn something.” Herbert Klocke   My Grandpa Herbert passed away long before I was born, but Dad told us that while Grandpa was a man of few words, he had many one-liners or quips of advice he’d throw out when it fit…

Striving to Find the Better Way

  “There’s a way to do it better – find it.” – Thomas Edison   While innovation never quits at PigEasy, it can certainly ebb and flow.  Sometimes great ideas get stuck in Dad’s noggin for quite a while before he begins messing around in the shop creating the first proto-type. Even then, parts and…

World Pork Expo Reflections

Karen, PigEasy, PigEasy FamilyBy PigEasy LLCJune 10, 2015Leave a comment

The PigEasy Booth was located on the southwest wall of the Varied Industries Building. As you saw in Katie’s prior blog post, the World Pork Expo has been a family interest for years.  I now have a different perspective on the other side of the booth. Beyond the planning and organizing prior to, the “move…

Katie, MealMeter, PigEasy, PigEasy FamilyBy PigEasy LLCMay 27, 2015Leave a comment

The 2015 World Pork Expo is exactly one week away and we couldn’t be more excited. In our younger years, we would love to tag along with Dad to sneak treats (everyone remembers the flavored slushies in the semen bags at the ZFI booth??) and eat as much barbecued pork as our stomachs would allow.…

Why I’m celebrating Earth Day

Katie, Klocke Farms, PigEasy FamilyBy PigEasy LLCApril 22, 2015Leave a comment

I think Earth Day in the past has left a bad taste in most farmers’ mouths because activists tend to use this day as a platform and a launch pad for their attacks on innovation and progress in the Ag industry. I can’t blame farmers in some ways.  Animal and anti-GMO activists are like that…

While I’m laying here on the couch recovering from recent back surgery, I thought I’d write a little something about a few people who are very important to PigEasy’s success. Clint Clint is one of our most seasoned employees. Clint is a Templeton native who began working with Klocke Farms part time when he was…

Introductions

Katie, Klocke Farms, PigEasy FamilyBy PigEasy LLCMarch 5, 2015Leave a comment

My name is Katie.  About a year and a half ago I gave up my corporate 8-5 job in Des Moines to help my family run a startup business called PigEasy.  My work station went from a cubicle and head set to a laptop, briefcase and kitchen table.  It’s been an exciting ride. So, who’s…
