feeding mangalitsa pigs
Red Ledge Farm focuses on feeding our animals in the most healthy way possible. Our Mangalitsa/Berkshire cross pigs always have access to woodlot pastureland where they forage on forest masts (acorns and beechnuts). They are fed locally sourced grain to ensure they have a balanced diet as they grow. The pigs are finished on barley which makes the fat in the pork lighter and more clean tasting.
Commercial breeds are commonly processed at 5-6 months old while our Mangalitsa Crosses are 10 months old at processing.
