Pigs
Sow with young piglets
At Luciole Farm we raise Berkshire pigs. This breed is known for the excellent taste of the pork they produce. In studies done in the United States, the Berkshire breed rated first in most measures of tenderness, juiciness and consumer satisfaction. Our pigs are raised outdoors where they can eat grass and root in the dirt. Berkshires are black in colour, this makes them easier to raise outdoor since they do not get sunburns.
Althought the majority of our piglets are pure Bekshire, we did get a crossbred boar (Tamworth/Hampshire) to use on some of our sows to produce some crossbred piglets. We are very impressed with these crossbred piglets and can't wait to hear what our clients think of them.
Pigs are wonderful animals. We love working with them. They are smart, curious and friendly. And little piglets are just soooo cute!
