While we are maintaining a few select curly Mangalitsa ladies and will have a limited number of crosses available each year, our program has transitioned to focus primarily on our preservation program of purebred, RWPP.Org registered Red Wattles .
All our pigs free-range on pasture running from two to up to thirty-five acres, depending on their age and status. We have several 'large pens sometimes used for farrowing, as well as a "piglet tractor" used for weaning. Our feeder barrows run on the main pasture with our breeding stock, are fed once daily, and we weigh and worm everyone monthly. We medicate and treat injuries as needed.
With a dozen sows farrowing year 'round, we almost always have piglets and feeders available. We are happy to talk pigs any time and visitors are welcome to come out and meet the herd. If you are looking for a feeder, a breeder or a pet, we'll help you find the right one! We can also grow your pig out for you if you don't have your own space.
Please contact us for current pricing and availability.

Purebred and Registered Red Wattles
Piglets from our purebred, pedigreed RWPP and RWHA double registered red wattle/waddle foundation stock.
1. All of our registered breeding stock is DNA typed and parentage verification is provided on registered piglets.
2. Our purebred stock is *microchipped within a few days of birth for definitive ID through out their life. If you prefer not to microchip, please let us know in advance and we will notch or tag instead.
*These are ID chips only and do not have the ability to transmit any data. The reader has to be within inches of the chip to bounce a signal off to read it. This type of chip is about the size of a grain of rice and provides irrefutable id through-out their life, including if the pig is stolen or goes 'walk about'.
* Tags available on request with any piglet at no charge.
=> $325 Purebred, breeding quality boar or gilt
Includes: Registration with RWPP.Org, DNA parentage verification, and microchip for simple, life-long identification.
* See our NEWS! blurb above about the genetic testing we have in progress. We are still working on how best to incorporate this into our program, but the information will allow us to refine our program to produce only the highest quality piglets and pork.
=> $150 Purebred feeder barrow or gilt.
(these gilts will be missing wattles, have short teat lines or otherwise are not suitable as breeders.)
We discount to $140ea for single transactions of ten or more piglets.
=> over 100lbs: $3.50lb live-weight, on the hoof.
=> $100 RWHA paperwork for registerable gilt. * Our Epic foundation stock is flagged with the RWHA and we encourage you to do your own research prior to requesting this non-refundable paperwork charge.
Piglet board/feed-out.
Once you have purchased your piglet, we can provide full care pasture board at $75 month until you are ready to process your pig. We typically see them make weight at about 10-12 months, depending on their breeding. We can not process for you, but will help with arrangement and transportation.
We will hold any piglet up to 15 days post weaning or a weaned piglet for 15 days with a $25 deposit.
After 15 days piglet board is $25/month up to 60 days.
Contact us or see our shop to make a deposit to reserve your piglets.
