After graduation I went on to attend Southeast Community College. After that I worked at Swingsters for 18 years. It was during that time I met my husband Bill, we were married in 1993, we purchased his family farm north-west of Fairbury and have been there ever since. We have a commercial cow/calf operation and some farm ground. It was also when I married Bill that I became a step-mom to Kim who was 11, Matt age 10 and Michelle who was 4 at the time. Helping Bill to raise them have given me memories I will never forget. When Swingsters closed I went to work for Livingston Enterprises, a 6000 head sow unit near Reynolds. I am now the farrowing manager. I care for the sows and more importantly the baby pigs. There are between 8-10 English speaking employees and 15-18 none English speaking employees, needless to say communication can be a challenge, but I enjoy the work.
