Homestead Hogs

We think the Meishan is more or less the ultimate homestead hog.

That's why we care about Meishan breed preservation, and have personally slung endangered hog genetics from Pennsylvania to Oregon about it. While logging the miles across America, we've kept a piece of each bloodline for us here in Tennessee. We are the only farm in the country line-breeding the largest-litter record-setting bloodline from Elemental Acres.

The bumper fertility kicks things off for the Meishan, as fewer production animals means better stocking density. The docile temperament is another huge selling point if you intend to use the same address to raise both children and 300-pound omnivores. Finally, Meishans above about 130 pounds have a long enough small intestine to perform hindgut fermentation like a horse, lowering your feed bill and getting you just about as close as you can to grass-fed pork.

As a lard hog that gives good meat and even has extra thick skin for pork rinds, you're not going to feel like you're compromising just to get the agricultural dynamics you need as a small farmer.

We breed first and foremost for meat quality and quantity, then for fertility, and finally for docility.

Deposits are usually 50%. Prices exclude select bloodlines and delivery arrangements.
