We Breed Success
Success comes to those with ambition, drive and energy to keep
growing and improving. That’s been a fundamental belief of
Kleen Leen since we started in 1962.
Since that time, that belief has paid off in the development of
hogs with some of the highest performance levels found
anywhere. But we’re never satisfied. We’re continually refining
and improving our breeding animals through applied genetic
principles of testing and selection.
You can count on Kleen Leen to help you breed success
today and tomorrow.
