We switched to Manna Pro feed for our mini pigs because the other brand available locally was nearing $20/20lb bag. This product has gone up nearly $7 since we started using it a few years ago. Good feed, but for the price, we will likely switch to something more affordable.

I had someone pick me up some organic feed for my pigs. This is what I got. I was happy that it is organic non gmo. I am not thrilled at all that it has soy. It would be great to be able to find a good organic feed for my girls that doesn’t have SOY! This crap is not good for a human {especially females} I am certain it is not good for any female animals either.
I will be looking for something else more my girls that doesn’t have soy ingredients in it. I make sure my chickens, dogs, cats and ducks don’t eat that stuff either. It kind of makes you feel better knowing it is organic non gmo.
However, SOY reeks havoc on the female reproductive organs/system. When fed to babies of any kind, it’s is going to do some real damage.
Love this feed for our rescue piggy Tootie Toot Toot. She absolutely loves this food and does not leave anything behind. The bag is easy to carry with the handle which makes it easy to transport to her container.
There is minimal feed dust and the pellets are always fresh. Highly recommend. They get the Tootie Toot Toot’s Oinkin’ seal of approval!.

We’ve had our mini pig Percie for 3 years. We rescued her from a bad situation as we do all of our animals. We started her off on Mazuri feed and she was on it for 2 years. She started developing skin, eye and bathroom issues so I went to the mini pig fb group I’m in to ask for help.
EVERYONE said to get her off the mazuri feed. So about the same time a new feed depot store opened up near us and they sold your feed exclusively! We bought a bag and gave it a shot. Not only did Percie like it better, within a week her eyes stopped draining and her skin cleared up plus, no more constipation! I had an overwhelming guilt that I made our poor baby suffer by feeding her that other brand, but I am beyond thankful that I found your product.
We only have 1 income as I have to stay home with 2 of our 4 children with chronic medical issues and its tough to feed all of these animals, plus the 6 of us, but your brand was also $2 cheaper which helps us out.
I have filled out the form for promotional e-mails from you, but there isnt an option to click on in the form for pigs unfortunately. I only need promotional offers for them. Anywho, if you have any promotions or coupons to help out, I would be forever grateful.
Thank you for making a great product and bringing our Percie back to good health!.
Nutrena mini pig feed is a great value for the money. I feel my pig is getting a good balanced diet. The other feeds are not only more expensive, but give my pig a rusty discharge around his eyes which Nutrena does not.

Hand PaintedHighly DetailedMade of high quality plasticOriginally domesticated in Southwest Asia, China, and Europe, pigs were valuable and easy to please thanks to their adjustable nature and status as omnivores.
For meat, bristles, and skin, pigs were profitable in farming. Currently, in some countries, pigs help in finding truffles with their sensitive snouts. In other countries, people keep pigs as pets, raising them indoors or outdoors.
Still popular for food, products include bacon, sausage, ham, head cheese, and more.
I ordered this toy to play with my daughter. She loves dinosaurs and dragons. She often plays with them in her sensory bin, or in the bath tub. This brontosaurus was the perfect size for her. Not teeny tiny, and not too large.
She has had it for quite a while now, and it’s often one of her go to hands in imaginary play items when she gets home from school. It’s a hard plastic dinosaur toy, so I don’t have to worry about water getting inside and causing mold or bacteria to grow inside of it.
Once she’s done playing with it I either wipe it down with a disinfectant wipe, or pop it in the bleach bath with other toys. It’s definitely one of her favorite toys, and I’ glad I ordered it. No loud obnoxious roars, or flashing lights to over stimulate or upset her or any other child.
Makes a great toy for most kids on the Autism spectrum.
Overall this is a great set! The animal figures are always great quality – detail, likeness, heft, solid! The hutch is very realistic. It has many moving parts with doors and latches. The doors and pen are a bit flimsy and can be broken by little hands that aren’t patient enough to take their time with attaching/detaching parts.
Ours did end up breaking, but a little super glue will fix it I think. Great toys for fostering imagination! Last forever, can be passed down to generations! Quality products, very detailed and realistic.
Educational value is top notch. Can be used in just about ANY teaching moment – math, science, social studies, social skills, community!.

Founded in 2008, WhistlePig is now the most awarded rye whiskey maker in the world. Their remote 500-acre hard-working farm in bucolic Shoreham, Vermont, is the perfect place to perfect their experiments with blending and finishing, ultimately leading to a portfolio of deeply complex rye whiskeys.
In 2017 WhistlePig was awarded the coveted Best In Show Whiskey title from the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Until his passing in 2018 the WhistlePig farm had been home to the founding father of craft whiskey, Master Distiller Dave Pickerell.
Their vision is to respect tradition and embrace progress, protecting what makes rye whiskey great, and at the same time innovating to make it better. After years of devotion to patient aging and innovative blending, WhistlePig has turned their attention to experimenting with grain, namely the practice of malting rye.
Before industrial catalysts were introduced to increase efficiency, farmer distillers would malt a small portion of their rye harvest in order to access the grain s starch content and set off the fermentation process.
The Boss Hog VIII Lapulapu s Pacific is a straight rye whiskey and the latest product of WhistlePig s quest for the finest rye whiskey. Lapulapu was an indigenous ruler in the Philippines responsible for defeating Ferdinand Magellan, thus ending his voyage of circumnavigation in 1521.
Legend has it that Lapulapu was turned to stone instead of dying and you can find a pewter effigy of the Filipino hero atop each bottle of The Boss Hog VIII. The whiskey is aged in American oak, then finished in single-island Philippine rum casks for a unique, complex, and powerful expression that is bottled at barrel strength.
Government Warning: (1) According to the Surgeon General, women should not drink alcoholic beverages during pregnancy because of the risk of birth defects. (2) Consumption of alcoholic beverages impairs your ability to drive a car or operate machinery, and may cause health problems.
Reviews From Real Customers
Neat, on the rocks, or my personal favorite, piggy back old fashioned. This Rye is exceptional and well rounded, and the price is right on point for the quality. An all around great whiskey.
It’s the only thing I have ever had from WhistlePig, but I find this 6 year rye lacks complexity. It is too balanced for my taste, but it’s not bad. If balanced and smooth is what you are looking for in a rye, it may be for you.
Also known as Boston butt or pork butt, pork shoulder comes from the pig’s upper shoulder. This well-marbled cut has plenty of fat and flavor, making it ideal for low and slow cooking. Smoke it or braise it to make pulled pork or Carolina barbecue (check our blog for BBQ sauce recipes), or tender kebabs.
This is one of those cuts that makes outstanding leftovers. Weight: 2. 5 lb Cooking Method: smoke, roast, slow cook, braise Temp Guide: FDA Internal 145° then let it rest 3 min Recipes to try: Chile Verde Pork, Slow Cooker Braised Pork Shoulder, Citrus Braised Pork Roast with Mojo de Ajo.
Once again, the carnitas I made in the slow cooker using this pork shoulder roast were absolutely magnificent! The quality of this meat is superior, and the shipping time cannot be beat. I bought several of them in a “bundle” and have stocked my freezer for at least a little while.
but soon I shall be back to Grass Roots to replenish them!.
Spoiler alert: Pork Butt does not come from anywhere near the butt of the pig. The butt is actually the top half of the shoulder. Because our hogs are raised in the woods with plenty or room to roam and root, this hard working muscle develops a deeper flavor and pink hue unlike anything you can find in the grocery store.
I ordered A half pork butt and it came neatly packed and on time, pulled pork butt out packing and it looked great and tasted great, would definitely order again!!!!!!
Berkshire pork, also known as Kurobuta pork, makes the best ham. Our Berkshire pork bistro ham is uncured, unsmoked, fully-cooked, and ready-to-eat. This French-style ham is made without nitrates, nitrites, phosphates, or artificial fillers, and is seasoned simply with sea salt and raw cane sugar.
The Berkshire hogs are raised on pasture, with no antibiotics or hormones, by a cooperative of small farms dedicated to humane and sustainable methods.
This was the perfect addition to an April in Paris birthday celebration. It was as close to France as we could get and still enjoy delicious sandwiches. There was a hiccup in overnight shipping but all was well.
I had forgotten how delicious ham can be. About ready to order another.
I ordered this bistro ham after searching for a product I could use to try and reproduce a sandwich I had at Paul in Paris. A great baguette, delicious butter, ham and cheese. Sounds simple but it was sublime.
Clearly it was all about the amazing ingredients. I sliced it today for sandwich making and left a large piece for Quiche Lorraine. It surpassed my expectations.
I thought that I was going to bite into the wonderfully delicious ham sold in good charcuteries in France and therefore get transported back to my childhood, not the case, could not finish the whole thing, very disappointing!.
Single Pork Chop, with 2 bones. Experience true pork flavor with our double-cut chops from heritage-breed hogs. Raised on family farms dedicated to traditional methods with a strict prohibition on antibiotics and growth stimulants, the hogs are allowed their natural behaviors and space.
The resulting pork is generously marbled, dark in color, and full of flavor. A cooperative of small family farmers dedicated to traditional methods raising old-breed hogs with completely traceable breeding lines.

Families of pigs are left together and their indoor spaces offer at least 15 square feet of space per animal, and sows are never put in gestation crates.
The cooperative is strict about banning the use of antibiotics and hormones* on each farm and limiting the number of hogs the farms raise.
Braise it all day for crazy tender meat that can be used in hearty ragu or to top polenta. Or, cure it for a week, then smoke and use it to flavor your soups and greens. However you decide to cook it, it’s going to be like no other meat you’ve ever tasted because our pigs develop an incredible flavor and deeper pink hue living out in the woods of Western Kentucky.
Everything about our experience was excellent. I ordered your pork shanks to prepare for a dinner party as braised pork shanks. I then received your recipe for your pork shank ragu. It looked so good that I had to order additional shanks.
I made your ragu for a dinner party last week. Delicious. Better the next day. Will be preparing the braised shanks for company on Friday.
They were very flavorful the Size are excellent. I have so many recipes to try in these will be great in them. There are a few recipes I would love to make but they call for shakes with the skin on. I am really amazed with the flavor of the product Will definitely buy again.
A lean cut from the hip area of the hog near the back of the loin, these forested pork sirloin chops have a little fat which adds flavor and keeps them very tender and juicy. Deeply flavorful, quick and easy to cook.
A quick pan-fry or grill works great (with simple seasoning or after marinated). You can also bread it and fry or bake it. No need to pound to tenderize. Weight: 1 lb Cooking Method: skillet, grill Temp Guide: FDA Internal 145° then let it rest 3 min Recipe to Try: Nuoc Chom Pork Chops & Mung Bean Salad.
Wow what a difference! Tasty, juicy and delicious! Not to mention the gratification knowing I am choosing a product that is sustainability produced and free of the bad stuff. Order arrived very well packed.
It was outside in the summer while I was at work and it was still frozen solid when I opened it up. Very impressive. I will order again soon.
Just the right size for two people with leftovers. Don’t overcook them like I did. S&P and some herbs worked well, sauteed in ghee. Still, the leftovers went into vegetable soup the next day and was delicious.
I am so happy with the quality and flavor of the meats I’ve cooked so far! Just no comparison to cafo meats as one can completely understand the many reasons why. This co-op is the best thing I’ve come across to date and I will continue to be a loyal customer for as long as they continue to raise and produce such high quality beef, chicken and pork! Also, I happened to catch Cody on Dave Asprey’s Bulletproof podcast.
We try to keep some in the freezer for when the kids visit. Hands down the best pork belly filets you’ll find. Thick, juicy, tender with a perfect ratio of meat to fat. These cook up fork tender and are perfect as an entree.
We score the top and oven roast them. The house smells amazing and the taste is out of this world! I’ll never buy grocery store pork belly again after these!.
I ordered two packages. Each package had one piece that could be cooked and sliced or cubbed and smoked, the second piece in each package was odd shaped and all fat. I basicaly got one usuable in each package.
I have ordered this in the past and both pieces were usuable. Disappointed.

Miyoni features your favorite animals in plush form with a simultaneously realistic and adorable design! This Hampshire Pig Miyoni is an adorable little piggy with a black head and body, and a white band around the middle covering the front legs.
This was possibly the worse ham I have ever purchased. First it was a pound and a half less than your stated “average size”; then it was dry. So, so terribly dry. Nearly inedible. I had to purchase an additional ham from the grocery store as your was too small to feed my family.
Everyone loved it, and your dry jerky was all that was left over. It was so bad, that it was dry in omelets. I ended up feeding it to the dog.

When deciding what breed of pig to raise for meat, there are a few things to consider. First, what type of environment will the pigs be raised in If the pigs will be raised in a hot climate, then a breed that is more heat tolerant would be a better choice.
Second, what type of feed will the pigs be eating If the pigs will be eating a lot of grain, then a breed that does well on grain would be a better choice. Third, what is the market for pig meat like in your area If there is a lot of demand for leaner pig meat, then a leaner breed would be a better choice.
Some popular breeds of pigs that are raised for meat include the Yorkshire, Hampshire, and Landrace. These breeds are all good choices for raising in a variety of environments and on a variety of diets.
They also have good market demand in most areas.
Choose whether you want to raise them outdoors or indoors.
There are pros and cons to raising pigs for meat indoors or outdoors. One pro of raising pigs outdoors is that they have more space to roam and exercise. This can lead to healthier pigs. A con of raising pigs outdoors is that they are more exposed to the elements, which can lead to health problems.
One pro of raising pigs indoors is that they are protected from the elements. A con of raising pigs indoors is that they may have less space to exercise, which can lead to health problems.
Get ahold of some quality pig feed.
To get ahold of quality pig feed, you will need to contact a local pig farmer or feed store. Pigs are omnivores and require a diet that consists of both plant and animal matter. A good quality pig feed will contain a mix of grains, corn, soybeans, hay, and other roughage.
Pigs also require a source of protein, which can be provided by feeding them kitchen scraps, insects, or meat.
Build or buy a sturdy pig pen or enclosure.
If you want to raise pigs for meat, you will need to build or buy a sturdy pig pen or enclosure. The pigs will need plenty of space to run and play, and you will need to make sure that the enclosure is strong enough to keep them safe and secure.
You will also need to provide them with food and water, and you will need to clean the enclosure regularly.
Get your pigs!
Assuming you would like tips on raising pigs for meat:
Pigs are social animals and do best when living in groups. When raising pigs for meat, you will need to decide how many pigs you would like to raise and purchase accordingly.
Pigs require a lot of food and will eat anything you give them. It is important to create a well-balanced diet for your pigs that includes plenty of protein, grains, and vegetables.
Pigs also need a lot of space to roam and play. They should have access to a large pen or pasture where they can explore and root around.
Pigs are relatively easy to take care of, but they do require some regular maintenance. You will need to clean their pen regularly and provide them with fresh food and water daily.
If you follow these tips, you will be well on your way to raising healthy and happy pigs for meat.
Care for your pigs properly.
Pigs are intelligent and social animals that need proper care in order to thrive. Pigs should have access to clean water at all times, as well as a balanced diet of grains, vegetables, and fruits. Pigs also need plenty of space to roam and explore, as well as opportunities to engage in natural pig behaviors such as rooting and wallowing.
When pigs are well-cared-for, they are happier and healthier, which results in higher-quality meat.
Butcher your pigs when they reach market weight.
The process of butchering pigs for meat is called pork processing. Pigs are typically slaughtered when they reach market weight, which is around 250 pounds. The butchering process begins with the pig being stunned and then bled.
The carcass is then hung up and the pork is processed. The pork is then cut into primal cuts, which are the major cuts of pork that are used for further processing or for sale as retail cuts.
Enjoy your delicious pork!
Pork is a delicious meat that is raised by pigs. Pigs are intelligent animals that are able to learn tricks and commands. They are also very social animals and enjoy being around other pigs. Pork is a healthy meat that is high in protein and low in fat.
It is a good source of vitamins and minerals, and it is also a lean meat.
Conclusion
Pigs are a popular animal to raise for meat because they are relatively easy to care for and maintain. They also have a high reproductive rate, meaning that they can produce a large number of offspring in a short period of time.
Pigs are typically slaughtered when they reach around six months of age, although this can vary depending on the specific type of pig being raised.
