This is a good example of what bad quality pork looks like.

This is why all of our pigs are carefully selected for traits that matter to your family’s dinner table. They are bred for larger loins for more pork chops, excellent muscle development, and a perfect balance of fat-to-meat ratio that develops flavor without excess waste.

Every batch of feed is fresh, high quality grain that we would feel comfortable feeding our own family. We never feed moldy or spoiled feed, and all grain is monitored for mycotoxins that can negatively impact pig health and performance.

Healthy pigs, quality feed, and genetics designed for exceptional pork. The result is pork that tastes the way pork should!

Know your breed and what to feed them!
(This one was a kune kune cross, the customer was not sure what it was crossed with).

Just because you raised a big fat pig, does not mean you will have a large return on your meat.

There are certain breeds that are bred specifically for their lard. This is a pork chop from one of those pigs.

***edited to add, if raised and fed correctly most will not look like this. This is an extreme and can happen in butcher hog breeds as well. This post was intended to stimulate educational conversations among farmers, nothing further.

POV: your pork isn’t just “meat in the freezer” anymore 👏

One of my favorite things about raising pork is finding new ways to make life easier in the kitchen. Today’s project: homemade sausage gravy made with our farm raised sausage and then off to the freeze dryer for quick breakfasts later on.

Because good pork should be more than something you thaw last minute — it should become easy meals, family traditions, camping breakfasts, busy morning saves, time with your loved ones hunting, and comfort food ready when you need it. 🐷🤍

What’s some of your favorite pork meals??

While I was in college, I realized the kind of pork that came easy at home wasn’t easy to find anymore. I missed slow mornings with biscuits and gravy, pork chops on the smoker, and meals that reminded me of life on a farm.

That’s why we created our new “Taste of Home” box.

Whether you want to sample the pork we raise here is East Idaho or just miss the kind of home-cooked meals you grew up with, this box is for you.

Raised locally. Farm fed. Pork with real flavor.

Welcome to Iron Hog! As a way of formally introducing ourselves — we’re the Mitchells! We are local pig breeders and pork producers located in Rexburg, Idaho.

For the past three years, we’ve been supplying East Idaho with show pigs through our business, Juniper Ridge Livestock . While the business may be newer, pigs have been a part of our lives for as long as we can remember.

I started Iron Hog after becoming a mom. I wanted to teach our son the value of hard work, responsibility, and knowing where his food comes from.

Long before we were married, we dreamed about raising pigs together. We actually came home from our honeymoon and immediately started building a barn. Since then, there’s been plenty of blood, sweat, late nights, and a few swear words poured into building these businesses.

We’re grateful for the support from our community and would love the opportunity to help with your pork needs!

My least favorite cut used to be pork chops… until I realized it wasn’t the cut I didn’t like—it was how the pig was raised.

What pigs eat makes a huge difference in how the meat tastes. That’s why we source all of our grain from local East Idaho farmers, chop it right here on the farm, and carefully build our own feed ration—using only ingredients we’d feel good about feeding our own family.

The end result speaks for itself.
