Funny Farm Hogs

Funny Farm Hogs Welcome to Funny Farm Hogs! We are a family based livestock operation, run by myself (Cara) and my mom (Dianne).

Family farm that's been raising hogs for over 40 years (consistently, though technically we're 2nd & 3rd generation pig farmers) - Berkshire and Berkshire cross; primarily offering feeder pigs, and occasionally registered breeding stock. We are primarily a farrow to wean operation - though we occasionally keep a few to raise out and sometimes offer half or whole shares on the rail at competitive p

ricing. Our boars are Berkshire, and all of our sows are Berkshire or Berkshire crosses. We can now offer registered stock as well - though there may be a wait for a litter to be born or weaned. Our focus is providing healthy and happy pigs around 9 weeks of age to families that wish to raise their own pork at an affordable price. Unfortunately, since we actively look for stock not close to the "show pig" stature, our pigs are not very competitive in the show ring. Our goal is to maintain that traditional phenotype from before commercial breeds were "modernized" to all look the same, and to provide breeding stock to those that share the same goal. Outside of the pigs, we also have a varied flock of chickens and often have extra eggs of many colors to sell. We also happen to be a couple of those little girls that never grew out of that " horse crazy" phase, and have several equines as well. We've got a couple of barn cats to help keep the mice population down, as most farms do. Our dogs are farm dogs, a mix of herding and protection breeds, so while we welcome visitors, we ALWAYS ask that people let us know when they are coming over. We love to talk pigs, so please don't hesitate to reach out, even if it's just with questions!

The forecast is calling for rain showers and low temps through Friday this week, and I think everyone NORMAL out here is enjoying this lazy, cool morning.

Then we have Pretzel, Poptart & Lollygag's crew.....

Berkshires used to have a short and upward curved snout - this was bred out of them in the US primarily due to it causing issues when eating out of commercial feeders in large operations. It's not often we see these short snouts anymore - Crossfire has a fairly "Berk-ish" face, but even Manny and Fox have faces that are longer than the typical Berk face really should be....

We're still bouncing names around, so let's keep hearing suggestions!

Name time!! We need "barn" names for these three, and our creativity for names gets less and less with every batch of replacement gilts we keep back.....

Genetic lines listed below, and both mom and I kind of tried to think of ways to keep their registered names in the mix, but if we're being honest - I'm not fond of the idea of going down the president route (cause let's be honest, we have a problem with themes, and pretty soon we'd have to have Jefferson, Johnson, Reagan and who knows who else 🙄🤦), and I really don't think we need a bunch of Marvel heroes running around out here, either....

Ideas are very welcome, though we've been know to switch directions out of nowhere when it comes to this, so no guarantees we'll pick a winner here.....

Hulk - this girl is fairly nervous about pets, but acts like she really wants to check us out

Powerline 51 - already kind of a sweetie, enjoying face rubs, back scratches and looking for treats

Abraham Lincoln - wants nothing to do with human attention at this point in time 😂 not panicky, but definitely has opinions.

When you're blissed out in the mud on a moderately warm and sticky day, and can't be bothered to pay attention to the two legged....

So.... It's not easy to be excited about things in light of situations like Tater's lost litter. But it's really important to keep pushing forward - dwelling on the bad is unhealthy and unproductive. I used to do it a lot, and it only made me feel worse. It didn't make anything better, it didn't fix anything or give us answers. It just made it harder to keep going.

But we're still pretty excited about this.

08/28/2026

A little update on Tater - not good news, but we'll get through it. We always do.

Still waiting on results for disease testing, and we have a farm visit with the closest vet that knows hogs next week, so hopefully we can figure something out to try and stop the cycle we're in.

Sorry for the long video guys, but I just wasn't up to writing this all out.

If you don't like hearing about the honest, ugly and heartbreaking parts of raising livestock, keep scrolling. I am not in the mood to tolerate trolls right now.

I think Crossfire's face says it all here.....

Miss Poptart got her first boyfriend last night! The size difference between these two is pretty dang big, but I tell you what - Miss Whiskey breeds them strong! This girl held him better and longer than most of the gilts we've had recently - and with this old man hanging at around 800+lbs that's no easy feat for a little girl who's probably less than half his size! Strong & sound stock is what we like to see!

Granted, that doesn't mean she's not absolutely knackered today. She's been camped out in Crossfire's wallow pretty much all day, and I'm sure soaking those sore muscles feels real good!

We did AI Pretzel last weekend, but I ended up being a bit early on my timing mistakenly, so we're keeping fingers crossed that she settles, but aren't sure we'll get that lucky.... Here's to hoping these two (and Trouble) all settle with good litters for late winter/early spring pigs!

Kids with treats - they seem to accomplish all sorts of things. Joanie is much more comfortable today out and about than last night. They also drank well out of the drinker tonight when I brought the horses in, which was great to see!

Tex obvious still needs to learn boundaries and how to wait his turn... We're still working on Ella's firmness with telling them "no".

08/22/2026

These guys spent their first night outside last night - their introduction to the hot wire was rough. Tex would jolt and freeze, but poor Joanie lost herself to a runaround panic, and it took us a while to help her calm down and relax. Thankfully, Tex adjusted fairly quickly and realized the shocks came from the fence and he was okay around the food, but Joanie hid in the house for a while until she decided to try and join him.

This morning they are cozy and happy in their house, and I'll be making frequent trips out today to make sure they get their water figured out.
