It is not always the easiest way, or the cheapest way, but in our book, it’s the right way to raise animals.šŸ’š

🌱 šŸ‘ 🌱 ~On a regenerative pasture, sheep follow the heavier step of cattle like quiet partners in an old time dance~ each species grazing the land differently, nurturing a montage of diversified plants and insects while breaking the life cycles of one another’s parasites, so the pasture, the soil, and the herd all grow healthier together.
ļæ¼
Fun Facts about our Sheep:

••No Shearing Needed: They grow a thick winter coat and naturally shed it in the summer.

••Parasite Resistant: They have a high natural resistance to internal parasites.

••Origin Story: Developed in the 1950s-70s by Michael Piel, who wanted a sheep to graze power lines.

••Hair, Not Wool: They have hair rather than wool, which means they do not require docking of tails.

••Climate Adaptability: They thrive in both cold, snowy climates and hot, humid conditions.

••Flavorful Meat: Raised for high-quality, lean, and mild-tasting meat.

••Katahdin Sheep are the first breed of hair sheep to be accepted as a standard breed in the United States.

…and my personal favorite:

•Low Maintenance: They rarely need hoof trimming.

šŸ“Œ The proof is in the puddingā˜ŗļø.

Also, when crossing the gentetics of these two amazing breeds, it produces a piglet with substantially more vigor and a heightened edge beyond the purebred lines in growth rates. Both purebred Red Wattles and purebred Large Black Hogs are permanently part of our regenerative farm model.

šŸŒ Over the last couple of years we have been diligently ļæ¼working on the ā€œultimate pig,ā€ by combining the genetics of the highest quality pork producing porcine breeds from around the world. We are chasing flavor folks, and absolutely enjoying every step of the way on this delicious adventure! šŸ”„

Myth: Heritage pigs aren’t practical for modern farms.
Fact: Heritage pigs like the Large Black and Red Wattle are hardy, adaptable and excellent for pasture-based farming. They forage naturally, require less intensive care and produce flavorful, high-quality pork—proving that heritage breeds can be both sustainable and valuable.

To do the work from a horse’s warm back~
Winter softened by steady steps,
And chores carried on shared breath.
