Disposition: They have a disposition that is exceptionally friendly, extremely gentle, loveable, & calm. They love attention and have been bred to graze instead of root. 

Growth Rate: They are designed to grow and mature at a fast rate, but are still true Grazing pigs.  These pigs mature to market weight within about 8 – 10 months (eating primarily grass) and eat less grain than the average meat hog does.  Butcher weight is about 230-250 pounds. See Attached Photo: The following chart depicts the average growth of the Idaho Pasture Pig.

Meat: The meat from the IPP is considered delicious. Since they feed primarily on grass, its meat has a deeper red color, is well-marbled, and is laced with a buttery fat that melts in your mouth. This grass diet also gives the pork a much sweeter flavor than you would get with most other pig breeds. It is not dry and stringy like traditional pork and because they eat grass the meat is higher in Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids.

Feed: While they are primarily grass-fed, all pigs need lysine, which can only be found in grains. Because of that, the IPP can’t be 100% grass-fed. However, only 10 – 20% of the pig’s diet needs to be made up of the minerals and grains that their bodies require.

Farrowing: Sows have great maternal instincts. On average, a first-time mother can produce a litter with seven piglets. That number typically increases to around 8 – 12 piglets as the sow matures. Idaho Pasture pig sows don’t need creep feeders or farrowing crates, although they can be used.

Shelter: These pigs thrive in warm and cold weather. Like most, if not all, pigs, the IPP needs wallows to help regulate its temperature in extreme heat. These pigs do need shelter to keep them safe from predators and the elements. A simple A Frame Pig shelter works well for farrowing and sleeping.
