Like a hog on ice...in Rochester

For those saying it out there, I am NOT obsessed with artificial insemination of livestock.

It is just an interesting industry, which seems to be well-represented in Rochester.

Here's an item from today's column:

What do you do when a pig outgrows a pen?

Get a larger pen.

The same holds true for a growing business (without most of the mess.)

Norsvin, a swine genetics company, moved its headquarters from Harmony to Rochester in January.

“We just needed a larger headquarters. We were outgrowing our office,” said Norsvin General Manager Roxi Thompson.

Now the staff of 11 people has space to move around at 2768 Superior Drive N.W., south of Mr. Pizza North.

And what does the swine genetics company do? 

“We provide live animals and semen to pork producers across North America,” she said.
