SOLD OUT! Thank you Friends! Heritage Breed Piglets - Spring Litters - 2019
Once again, we are sold out of our 2019 Spring Litters. We do not take deposits on piglets, so please contact us to get your name on a waiting list. Our prices are $150.00 all year around. We absolutely LOVE our yearly repeat customers and offer a discount of $25.00 per piglet as a small way to show our appreciation.
Our piglets are farrowed in a natural environment without the use of farrowing crates. Co-nursing is always encouraged once the piglets are four days old, besides it literally takes a village to raise these adorable piglets. We watch our sows and piglets very closely and weaning can take place anywhere from 8 to 12 weeks. The better start the piglets have with their mother, the faster they will grow out; it's a win - win situation.
We are a farrow to finish farm and sell only a few select piglets to outside farms. Yet, it is our want, need, desire to raise an awareness around us that pasture hogs not only survive, they thrive! Put these hogs to work for you on your farm, clearing blackberries, digging up poison oak, tilling the new garden spot, preparing your field for re-seeding. The possibilities are endless and we are here to lend support!
Keep Raising Them Right! * It's Time To End Factory Farming! * This Is No Hobby, It's Our Lifestyle! * Natural Is The Future!

Registered Hereford x Registered Hereford = Rita Hayworth
Litter Due: March 9, 2019 Oh Rita, what can I say.....you always need to be 'in pig' or you are one moody girl! This time we took you on a date with our newest boar, Sheriff, who has some amazing old fashioned heritage bloodlines that we are proud of! All of these piglets will be raised on our farm so we can gauge the grow-out times. |
Large Black/Hampshire x Registered Hereford = Mags
Litter Due: EARLY 2019 $150.00 for barrows or gilts - RESERVED for repeat customer, thank you Noah! YES, we loved the Hereford x Large Black cross that we decided to give Maggie May, aka "Mags" a "go" with Winning Touch, our amazing Hereford boar from Shaffer's Goldrush. Our customers are requesting this cross as the Hereford is putting larger hams on the Large Blacks. We are loving cross! |

Large Black/Hampshire x Registered Hereford = Sweet Pea
Litter Due: EARLY 2019 $150.00 for barrows or gilts- RESERVED for repeat customer, thank you Noah! We were thrilled with Sweet Pea's 2018 litter, that we will give her and Winner another date night! The last cross grew super-fast, very stocky, with nice big hams that tasted great! |
Registered Berkshire x Registered Hereford = Thelma
Litter Born: EARLY 2019 $150.00 for barrows or gilts - RESERVED for repeat customer, thank you Shelly! We could not have been happier with this cross. I know I have said it before, but this is another favorite cross of mine! The hybrid vigor that we get when crossing these unrelated breeds is truly remarkable! They are fantastic grazers and built like a brick house. This cross will be a "keeper" on this farm for years to come! BRING ON THE "BERKFORD'S"! |

Registered Tamworth x Registered Large Black = Princess
Litter Born: EARLY 2019 We absolutely LOVE this cross and have missed it on our farm as Princess will jump any fence, tear off any door to get to the closest boar. The last few years have been Herefords, which have been great, but we love the Tamworth x Large Black cross and are so excited to get it back for 2019. We will be keeping all these to grow out. |
Registered Large Black x Registered Large Black = Ellie May
Litter Born: Early 2019 I have to face the facts. Sir Goliath is not losing the weight needed to continue breeding. Ellie May will be having a date night for early 2019 piglets. We will be keeping the nicest boar out of the litter. Donating two gilts to the Livestock Conservancy for their British Pig Project and growing the remainder out to sell. I pray that I can weight off of my 'kissey-face' boar because he truly is one in a million. I am not sure what I would do if I couldn't breed him anymore. |

Registered Large Black x Registered Hereford = Roxy
Litter Due: Early 2019 We are looking at a few Large Black replacements to cross over with our newest Hereford boars, so we will need to keep a good eye on Roxy's litter. In addition, we will be donating two gilts to the Livestock Conservancy for their British Pig Project and growing the remainder out to sell. |
Registered Hereford x Registered Hereford = Betty Davis
Litter Due: January 6, 2019 $150.00 for barrows, RESERVED FOR REPEAT CUSTOMER, thank you Tom! Another great success will happen from Betty Davis and Winning Touch! These two can 'tango' anytime if they continue making this nice of bacon seeds! |

Registered Hereford x Registered Hereford = Sissy Spacek
Litter Due: EARLY 2019 We took our new boar, Sheriff, and bred him to another Registered Hereford. We are keeping this litter to grow out for our customers. |
Berkshire / Hereford x Registered Hereford = Dottie
Litter Due: EARLY 2019 $150.00 for barrows or gilts, RESERVED for James, thank you! Thelma had two outstanding gilts in her last litter and we sold one to another farm and kept our dear, sweet Dottie to breed. We are super excited to see this cross hit the ground. As most of you are aware, I am not a huge fan of Berkshires. They lack the traits that I like/need to see in our pasture hogs. Yet, with crossing the Berkshire to the Hereford, we are bringing back the ability to actually have them thrive on pasture. |
