Why winter is secretly the BEST time to raise pigs! ❄️🐷
Forget the summer heat, intense flies, and messy mud wallows. Raising winter weaners is the easiest, most efficient way to grow premium, gourmet pork—and our specific cross is built for it!
🧬 The Perfect Winter Cross: 50% Tamworth x 50% Mangalitsa.
* The Mangalitsa brings the famous thick, curly woolly coat, deep fat stores, and elite marbling.
* The Tamworth adds excellent length, size, and a much faster growth rate!
Together, they create a hardy, fast-growing heritage pig that thrives in our moderate Shuswap winters. With proper feeding, this cross produces a beautiful 200–240 lb finished hog in just 6 to 8 months! ⏱️🍖
Why you'll love winter raising:
💰 Better Feed Efficiency: They spend more time sleeping and growing instead of burning energy trying to stay cool.
🌾 Bonus Forage: Bed them with oat straw or toss in alfalfa hay—they love to eat both, lowering your grain bill!
💧 Low Maintenance: Pigs always need fresh clean water but winter temps bring lower water demands and they often utilize clean snow if needed. No hauling water for summer mud holes.
🏡 Easy Setup: Just a basic, dry, three-sided shelter with deep bedding will keep your piglets warm and comfy all winter long!
🚨 AVAILABILITY: Demand for piglets goes down in fall (because most folks don’t know how easy pigs are to grow out in winter). We have 10 piglets ready to go in early November! Perfect timing to get them settled for a spring freezer-fill.
🌱 Our Price: We don't cut corners on our breeding program. Our parent stock gets the same premium care and high-quality feed all year long, ensuring you get robust, healthy genetics ready to thrive. All of our litters are produced with the same ethical considerations year round and our piglets are priced accordingly at $165/ea.
