Jacobs Pride

*2015* We currently have raised up two hogs over the summer from weanlings, solely on a diet of our fresh, raw goat milk and alfalfa hay that is locally farm grown and sold. One hog was just processed in October 2015 and is now available. It is packaged in serving sized packages of two per household. The meat has been vacuum sealed in clear wrapping. the meat is available as either pre packaged 25# variety packs, or will sell as a half or whole hog (approx. 180# of meat for the whole hog). Only raising two pigs a year, our hogs are a seasonal and a rare specialty product. Milk fed pork is extremely limited and only available until our next harvest the following year in the late fall 2016. Our number one passion is our dairy goats. We have a small farm, breeding only high quality, nationally recognized Nubian dairy goats. They are nationally and internationally recognized for their quality milk production, show success and our maintenance of a disease free herd. With our dedication we put into our dairy goats raising a nationally recognized herd, our does in turn produce a rich, healthy surplus of milk for us in return. We in turn use their wonderful milk to feed two pigs a season on their milk. Our weanling piglets are raised up to approximately 280 pounds live weight before harvest. Milk fed pork is one of the most unique specialty meats available. The meat from milk fed hogs is a rare commodity and highly valued since it is considered a delightful delicacy when it can be acquired. Many consider milk fed pork to be the finest pork available, as do we. We've been purchasing our cross-bred piglets from the same trusted, reputable breeder for many years now. It is because of the health, humane treatment and TLC this particular breeder puts into her hogs we've remained faithful to purchasing our annual weaner pigs from her. Our piglets start their life here at our farm on an abundant diet of fresh goats milk. By maturity they are consuming approximately 10 gallons a day of our goats milk, and in turn they produce the highest quality, specialty meat available for the consumer. Our pig's diet along with the milk they consume, includes the best quality locally grown alfalfa hay available. The alfalfa hay gives the pigs the greens they enjoy in their diet, that I feel is essential since we live in the desert and are unable to raise them on pasture. Besides the abundance of free fed milk and alfalfa hay they are fed, they occasionally receive whey from my cheese making attempts and organic trimmings from fruits and vegetables we consume that they love as special treats. This consists of their diet until they are market sized hogs and go in for harvesting. No GMO corn or soy are fed. Our pigs are ANIMAL WASTE PRODUCT FREE! Absolutely no commercial or medicated feed is fed, and no GMO grains such as corn or soybean is directly fed to our pigs! Naturally we use NO growth hormones! NO antibiotics are administered either orally or by injection to our pigs! The old adage is; "You are what you eat" With pork this saying is especially true because a pig deposits dietary fat directly into their muscle. What they eat, you eat. Since our pigs are raised on a diet of goats milk and supplemented with local farm raised alfalfa hay and organic trimmings, it is 100% natural. We personally consider the meat to be close to organic without certification as we can feasibly do. We try to raise or pigs to the ideal weight of 270-280# pounds live weight. However we can only guess their weight by appearance until they are delivered to the processer and officially weighed in. A flat fee of 7.00 a pound, cut, wrapped and frozen. Call or text 520-240-6643
