Idaho Pasture Pigs (IPP) are a cross between Duroc, Old Berkshire and Kunekune breeds. IPPs are known for their excellent meat production and are renowned for the rich color, and superior taste and texture. They are characterized by their short, up-turned snouts which allows them to eat more grass and root less. Because a large portion of their diet comes from pasture forage as they put on healthy weight, it takes longer to raise IPP. Our pigs are butchered at 10-11 months. This is roughly twice the lifespan of a rapidly-fattened commercially-grown pig, but the flavor and quality are worth the wait!
Special characteristics of IPPs include:
higher levels of vitamin E and healthier omega-3 fatty acids
marbleized meat, deep red in color
docile demeanor, making them very pleasant to be around
more hair than traditional pigs, making them cold hardy
hang weight of 150-200 lbs depending on age and breed line
Our pigs are fed a diet of:
pasture (rotated to fresh pasture weekly)
non-GMO, corn-free, soy-free feed
apple cider vinegar (for gut health)
extra minerals
diatomaceous earth
they're pharma-free pigs: no meds, vaccines, etc
