Farrow to Finish

The Natural Farrowing System® has designed Farrow to Finish Systems to help small to mid-sized pork producers raise pigs in a sustainable, environmentally friendly, natural system that will generate enough income to support their farm family.

The Basics

The Natural Farrowing System® was designed to be easily constructed and expandable. Entry level CapEx investment costs start at ~$150K.

  • 24 gilt groups (24, 48, 72, etc…)
  • 9 week rotation
  • Farrow, Finish and Gestate in Hoop Barns
  • High Health Herd (start clean, stay clean, closed herd)
  • Non-confinement environment
  • Low Labor and Odor
  • High Income Potential
  • No Heated Buildings
  • No Limit or Hand Feeding
  • No Hand Cleaning
  • No Pressure Washing
  • Dry manure

At Natural Farrowing System® we believe for any livestock operation to be successful, it needs to offer three things (Milk Stool Analogy):

  1. A sound standardized system to ensure supply and product reliability
  2. A sound contract for the farmer to support capital and operating investments
  3. Support from financial institutions

In our Systems, we have two primary customers: Farmers and Meat Marketing Companies. Please note: We are not a meat company, nor are we a producer. We provide a system and the full-service technical support that enables a person to successfully launch a hog operation from ground zero, in an economically viable, socially responsible and ecologically sound manner. You’re your own boss and you own your own pigs.
