Idaho Pasture Pigs
This unique breed of pigs has been a saving grace for us and we love to sing their praise. Before finding them we almost quit raising pigs all together because of the damage our old crossbred feeder pigs caused to our pastures. Now we jokingly call these our "sheep that make bacon", because these pigs cause less damage than our herd of sheep did and produce exponentially more food than they did, on half the grain ration our old pigs did. We love the looks on peoples faces when they come out and see how lush our pastures are and can't believe how many pigs we have on them.
We want you to succeed when raising this awesome breed so we do our absolute best to be available to answer any questions we can that you may have for the entire life of your pigs, so always feel free to reach out!
With how much we love this breed, ensuring we only put out great IPPs is very important to us. Here are some things we do to ensure you get the best possible IPPs Breeders or Feeders from us:
Genetics
-We have sourced our breeding stock from some of the best IPP farms all across the country including Oregon, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Kansas, and retaining some of the best from our own litters.
-We only sell the best of our piglets retaining any less than perfect gilts, or smaller than average individuals to feed out on our farm, which means we only chose 2-3 piglets as breeders(never more than 25-33% of a litter) and often only 3-4 as feeder barrows out of a litter of 8+.
Health
-All of our breeders are routinely vaccinated with farrowsure, and dewormed with Ivermectin.
-We work closely with two different vets, as well as Caleb having college level animal science courses, and 13+ years of hands on agricultural experience to address health issues should they arise.
Purpose
-Our herd is rotated through our pasture for the bulk of the year(when not with active litters on them) so that we can actively select for true grazing pigs, that work on pasture the way they should.
-We offer a 1 year guarantee on registered Breeders. If as your breeder piglet grows and matures we don’t feel it still meets our standards for what a great IPP should look or act like, or if they don’t breed at 8-9 months old having followed our recommendations for feed and mineral and worked to ensure its not the other of the pair to blame, we will replace it with a new breeder piglet, at the price of a feeder piglet and delivery fees or CVI if they apply.
