Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to get your hands a little muddy and your questions answered by pig lovers!

Our family has been raising pigs since 2011 and started with a pen our backyard in the city on just 2/3 of an acre. In 2021 we decided to move to a bigger homestead and never imagined we'd live on a 140+ acre farm and raise beef, pork, lamb, chicken, duck, turkey, and eggs to sell plus sell American Mulefoot Hog piglets. Here at True Cut Ranch our pigs are raised on pasture with electric wire. We breed and farrow here at the farm.
