Hog Slat Inc. got its start in 1969, when Billy Herring was operating a farrow-to-finish
farm near Newton Grove, NC, and couldn't find appropriate flooring for the nursery
he wanted to build. So, relying on his ingenuity and experience, he constructed
his own slats. Other producers noticed the quality of his product, called on him
for help, and a small family business was born. Today, that business produces a
full range of hog farming equipment. Hog Slat’s home office is located in Newton
Grove, NC, with regional offices in Iowa and Oklahoma. Our sister company, Georgia
Poultry, is headquartered in Royston, GA, with additional offices located in Mississippi
and southern Missouri.
Hog Slat, Inc. is a family-owned business engaged in many aspects of hog and poultry
production.
We are involved in :
(1) turnkey construction of confinement type and hog and
poultry units,
(2) the manufacture and distribution of hog and poultry
equipment, and
