WHOLE HOG PURCHASE INFORMATION

Valkyrie Ranch

Enjoy farm-raised pork from Valkyrie Ranch! I raise my hogs with care and attention, providing families with quality pork straight from my farm to their table.

WHOLE HOG PRICING

$100 piglet fee, charged separately and paid upfront.

$2.75 per pound hanging weight for care and boarding of your hog.

Care and boarding fees are due within 72 hours of receiving your hanging weight.

HOW I RAISE MY HOGS

I raise my pigs on rented pasture near Calhan, Colorado, where they have room to roam and enjoy a pasture-raised environment.

Their diet includes:

- Milk

- Vegetable scraps

- Free-choice hog feed

I do not vaccinate or deworm my pigs. I have no need to.

I believe in raising healthy animals with a natural, well-rounded diet while providing them with proper care throughout their time on my farm.

GROW-OUT TIME

My pigs are raised with the time and care needed to reach their ideal hanging weight.

During the warmer summer months, my pigs can be ready for butcher as early as 6 months of age. During the colder months, grow-out time can extend up to 9 months.

I don't rush the process. My goal is to raise healthy pigs and provide families with a quality product that makes their investment worthwhile.

EXPECTED HANGING WEIGHT

My target hanging weight is approximately 200–250 pounds per hog. Actual weights may vary depending on the individual animal and growing season.

WHY I AIM FOR THIS HANGING WEIGHT

I understand that purchasing a whole hog is a big investment for a family, and I don't take that lightly. That's why I aim for my hogs to reach a hanging weight between 200 and 250 pounds, so you get a substantial amount of quality pork, your freezer stays stocked, and your investment goes further.

My hope is that you feel your investment was worthwhile, knowing you're bringing home quality, locally raised pork for your family.

Fresh from my farm to your table!

ORDERING TIMELINE & RESERVATIONS

I raise hogs by reservation. Due to the expense of purchasing piglets, feed, and caring for livestock throughout the grow-out period, I cannot afford to have hogs available and ready for butcher at all times.

A $100 piglet fee is required upfront before I purchase and begin raising a pig for your order.

Once your pig is reserved and the piglet fee is paid, I begin the grow-out process.

Depending on the season, pigs can be ready for butcher as early as 6 months or may take up to 9 months.

I schedule whole hogs approximately three months ahead for butchering, so please plan ahead when placing your order.

Thank you for supporting my small farm and choosing Valkyrie Ranch!
