Sales on the consolidated statement of income during the Successor Period includes $10.2 million of sales from our Pork segment to other subsidiaries of WH Group.
One of our vice presidents of our Hog Production segment holds an ownership interests in JCT LLC (JCT). JCT owns certain farms that produce hogs under contract with the Hog Production segment. During the Transition Period, fiscal year ended April 28, 2013, fiscal year ended April 29, 2012 and fiscal year ended May 1, 2011, we paid $1.4 million, $6.2 million, $7.9 million and $7.8 million, respectively, to JCT for the production of hogs. During the Transition Period, fiscal year ended April 28, 2013, fiscal year ended April 29, 2012 and fiscal year ended May 1, 2011, we received $0.2 million, $2.6 million, $3.1 million and $3.3 million, respectively, from JCT for reimbursement of associated farm and other support costs. 
Also, multiple other vice presidents of the Hog Production segment hold ownership interests in Seacoast, LLC, Advantage Farms, LLC, Old Oak Farms LLC and Pork Partners, Inc. These companies produce and raise hogs for us under contractual arrangements that are consistent with third party grower contracts. During the Transition Period, fiscal year ended April 28, 2013, fiscal year ended April 29, 2012 and fiscal year ended May 1, 2011, we paid service fees of $1.1 million, $1.5 million, $1.7 million and $1.9 million, respectively, to these companies. In fiscal year ended April 28, 2013, fiscal year ended April 29, 2012 and fiscal year ended May 1, 2011, we received $0.2 million, $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively, from these companies for reimbursement of associated farm and other support costs. We received no amounts from these companies during the Transition Period for reimbursement of associated farm and other support costs.
Wendell, Murphy, a former director of the Company, and his immediate family members hold ownership interests in multiple farms that conduct business with us. These farms either produce hogs for us or produce and sell feed ingredients to us. In fiscal year ended April 28, 2013, fiscal year ended April 29, 2012 and fiscal year ended May 1, 2011, we paid $51.6 million, $52.2 million and $70.4 million, respectively, to these entities for hogs, feed ingredients and reimbursement of associated farm and other support costs. As a result of the Merger, Mr. Murphy is no longer a director of the Company.
We believe that the terms of the foregoing arrangements were no less favorable to us than if entered into with unaffiliated companies.
