Red Wattle Pork is probably some of the best pork
you will ever eat!
We also sell breeding stock!

Red Wattle Hogs have long been known for their slightly darker,
lean, flavorful meat. In addition, they are recognizable by their dark reddish colored skin and the skin flaps that hang down
from their jawline on either side.
Our Red Wattle hogs have been raised on our farm in
outdoor pastured areas since the 1990's. All of our breeding stock has been registered through the American Livestock
Breeds Conservancy (ALBC) dating as far back as 2002 when the ALBC took over the registry and monitoring of this wonderful
but endanger breed. Our Red Wattles heritage can be traced back to the original H.C. Wenglar breeding stock.

You can be assured that we will select only the best Red Wattles to be sold as breeding stock, choosing to
cull out lesser quality animals for our direct meat business. Your patience is required as we will not sell our breeding
stock until it is old enough to properly evaluate it. This may mean that we will not sell them until they are over two
to three months old. Cute, pretty babies don't always grow into long, lean, well-defined breeding stock and animal temperaments
sometimes don't begin to emerge until later in their development. We make sure that we handle all Red Wattle piglets
as much as possible so that they are socialized to humans.

When purchasing any of our Red Wattle hogs as breeding stock, you will receive
a completed ALBC registration form so that you can register your animal. We know the lineage of all of our animals and
can provide you with a printout of their family tree, if desired. Breeding Stock available now: Currently (8/1/10) we have 1
weanling boar available for sale. This boar was born 4/5/10 and will be ready for breeding by December 2010. Call

Many
of our Red Wattle hogs are sold as meat through our direct marketing business in south central Minnesota. We have a
large number of faithful customers that have purchased our pork for many years. This is a testament to the quality and
flavor of our meat. Our Red Wattles are raised on pasture. So for much of the year, they are eating grasses and
alfalfa. In addition, year-round, they receive a diet consisting of corn raised on our land without the use of
any chemicals, a natural mineral supplement, and a small amount of bean meal. They are not fed any
animal-by-products or empty-calorie fillers. If you would like to try some of our Red Wattle
pork, please go to the Meat Products page of this website for more information.
