Last year we decided to keep back two gilts for breeding so we can start producing our own piglets. Our Hazel and our Charlotte are celebrating their first Valentine’s day with a new boar-friend. Since his arrival two weeks ago, Big Red has been a huge hit with the two smitten gilts as he wooed them with his mild manners and really easy going nature! Our hope is that he sires a couple of litters and that the piglets have the same mellow temperament that he has. This will be the first two litters of pigs to be born on the farm!

Outstanding!!
Best of Luck!
Are you selling rib or back bones of the pigs to make fresh broth for Thai pork rice soup. I learned this from my Thai daughter in law and it is yummy and very easy on the stomach and intestines as I have Celiacs. Always looking for gluten free, lactose and casein free and soy free fresh organic foods. Oh and corn free – the packaged gluten free foods in stores are loaded with corn sodium and sugar. NOT Good.
Have had your chicken livers they were so good. Reminded me of the way they tasted when my grandmother made them.
