SENECA, KS — Seneca, KS-based J-Six Enterprises, a company focused on livestock and grain production, milling and blending services, has announced the acquisition of the Perrigo Animal Health facility located in Kansas City, KS.

The current food safety and production teams will remain employed at the facility and plans are in place to expand the team in 2017.
