  • Wonderful Resource

    Preparing to raise a couple of pigs in my 1/4 acre city backyard that’s overrun with crabgrass. I’ve been binge listening and taking notes and have learned a lot in a short period of time. Great interview style and very approachable. Would love an interview with someone raising mulefoots. Thank you!!

    Listened to the podcast with David as your guest again and would really be interested in an update interview now that it’s been almost 5 years since the original interview with him.

    Pork Ryan I think gave you a shout out at the HOA 2022 and I was sitting behind you. It took me a while to find your YouTube channel and that lead me here. I love the podcast and I have started listening at the beginning working my way through I really enjoy hearing from the different producers and different methods of achieving the same goal a more ethical and more sustainable method of raising pigs.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP172 Wholesale Pork Operation in Northern Minnesota
Q: Are you breeding there with your own boars? AI? How are you handling breeding?
They use natural breeding with three on-farm boars, importing new boars every couple of years, focusing on maternal traits and prolificacy to balance finishing with farm-scale needs.
EP172 Wholesale Pork Operation in Northern Minnesota
Q: So tell me a little bit about Weikers Acres Farms. What's with that name?
Weikers Acres traces back to the original founders in Northern Minnesota; the name is a phonetic nod to Weik, which leads to a branding quirk where customers call it Yiker Acres, tied to local cycling branding, but the farm is truly Weikers Acres.
EP167 - Moving from Northern Ontario to Even More Northern Ontario
Q: What are your goals with pigs in the next few years?
Her goal is to restart with a smaller, manageable breeding program on the new farm, keeping one boar and two sows, and gradually expanding while ensuring the herd fits the available pasture and infrastructure, all while prioritizing offspring quality and the practicality of managing a small-scale, family-oriented operation.
EP165 - Just starting out with 62 acres in Ottawa
Q: What are your five-year goals for infrastructure and livestock?
Kyle aims to have a winter shelter for pigs, a distant shed for farrowing and feeder pigs, and the ability to run water lines from a remote building, enabling a more permanent infrastructure for year-round pig production and potential beef integration.
EP165 - Just starting out with 62 acres in Ottawa
Q: What are your current plans for pigs and pasture movement?
They're starting with three piglets in a training paddock, using pallets-constructed pens and a fenced edge of pasture, with plans to move into the bush and rotate them to protect and improve pasture conditions while scaling up over time.
