The saying 'nothing happier than a pig in mud' certainly holds true in the heat and humidity we've been experiencing the last couple weeks! 🐷🌡 Wonder who gets to give her a bath?! 😁

Did you know pigs do not sweat? This makes it super important to make sure they have access to clean, fresh, cool water. In addition, the ladies outside have had a sprinkler spraying them daily. The pigs inside have fans running constantly.

Stay cool ya'll!

This year we have chosen to sell all our pigs privately at the farm. We felt this was the best way to view the pigs and help you find the right one for your show.

This year's sale represents our commitment to provide competitive and fair-priced showpigs. Selling approximately 70 January and early February barrows and gilts. Crossbreds and purbred Duorcs.

Champion pedigrees. Sires used: Bear It All, Rodeo Drive, Unrivaled, Bearly Legal, 5 Knuckle Shuffle, Deadbolt and Selfish.

Pigs will be sold by appointment only. First come, first served. For an appointment, call or text Traci at 715-554-2813.

Thank you! -Barry & Traci
