Gourley Research Group
Established 2012
In 2012, construction was begun on a 3,200 sow unit in Long Prairie, MN by the Gourley Brothers LC (Gerald, George, Gerry and Gene). This breed to wean facility was built to replace an outdated and constant PRRS’s challenged sow facility in Iowa. The new name, Gourley Premium Pork (GPP) was given to this new venture.
Protein Sources Management of Mapleton, MN designed, over saw the construction and manages the facility.
Understanding and recognizing the need for quality sow research, the facility made some adjustments in the design (in floor animal scale, feed lines and bulk feed storage bins) to accommodate research projects / trials.
