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.
