BERKSHIRE PIGS FOR SALE
Davidson, Saskatchewan Canada
registered breeding stock & weanlings
Do you want to raise pigs for family and friends but don’t know where to start?
Berkshire pigs are the perfect breed choice if you are new to raising pigs. With a great temperament, they are a joy to be around.
Be warned you might get addicted!
They are easy to keep, quieter than some breeds and we don’t find that they over root the pasture (though this depends on how much room you give them) They love to free range - even in winter - read more about raising pigs outside in winter here.
Every year our customers send us messages and pictures saying how much they love the pigs they got from us and how calm and friendly they are.
We do not clip teeth or cut tails nor do we use antibiotic-laden feed.
Our pigs are free-range and are outside year-round with access to many shelters
Our Pigs do eat grass but this is not their main diet - they need grain.
