After entering the world of raising pigs, I’m realizing how much they are enjoying the great outdoors.  Pigs have always been a hidden animal.  Never seen outside and always locked away in the barn.  I am finding them to be very useful for tilling up the ground in places no machines could go without doing major damage to the whole area.  The forest around their field is perfectly tended to leaving behind a  naturally manicured lot with mature trees thriving and strong new growth.   A forest that was once difficult to navigate has become tilled and fertilized.  At our piglet farm it’s more than raising a few sows.  Pigs have become a part of our culture. We have bonded with our herd that creates a family like environment. Our commitment to a healthy diet  of Non Genetically Modified Corn (Non GMO), plenty of fresh water and sunshine enriches there ability to produce beautiful healthy piglets.

THE FARM FAMILY

Never the same again

“Friendly as pigs…” I heard in a movies once and they couldn’t be more right. These are one of the most intelligent animals I have every had the pleasure of working with. I came from a background of working with Standard Bread Race Horses. A very fortunate upbringing for one whom loves animals. But I didn’t encounter a pig until the age of 16 when I was asked to round up a few that were rooting up someones nice lawn. I did find them interesting to see and they were very difficult to catch.  Now I know why.  Pigs have this wonderful sense of knowing. They have complete self awareness and a detailed understanding of their surroundings.  Amazing capabilities of communication and very expressive both with body language and vocally.  Most Care Givers of pigs, I feel, would agree.
After purchasing the farm over ten years ago, we warn’t sure what would be the best animal for us to raise. A number of years passed and we purchased a few cows and chickens to utilize the land we had available for grazing and producing hay.  It wasn’t until a distant neighbor offered us a couple of sows from a farmer who was retiring and found too difficult to maintain them.  We graciously accepted and our lives have never been the same since. From those two beautiful sows we now have over twenty, and have three bores of different breeds for fresh new blood lines.
A Landrace, a Yorkshire and a Heritage.  All of which have their own qualities and traits.  The Landrace (J.P. or Just Pig) has a wide stance and beautiful body builder type structure. Shorter in length then the Heritage and Yorkshire but no shortage in power and strength. He is the more aggressive of the Boys but reminds me of a wild teenager with a tender side.
The Yorkshire (L.P. or Little Pig) has a more narrow stance but has a far longer body. He has a lean structure compared to the Landrace and Heritage and is no slouch.  Pointy ears and a long snout accents his length to give him a beautiful sleek look.
The Heritage (Norman) has an all around general shape but he is big.  Close to 600 lbs he carries everything a pig should have, length and girth.  He to has a longer snout then the Landrace and has long stand-up ears.  All the boys are very lovable and make great friends to be with and care for.
With plenty of fresh water and an abundance of land to graze and dig; our pigs are very happy and comfortable.  A feed regimen of freshly ground Non Genetically Modified Corn for breakfast in the morning gets everyone of to a healthy start.  A quick bath in the mud hole and its off to the field for a day of sunshine and grubs.  After they take their afternoon nap or a siesta they head back out for more fun in the sun.  Evening falls and they fluff up there big nests of grass and tuck there noses in and dream of cracked corn for breakfast.
