Cowlick Farms

Cowlick Farms, Large Black pig breeder in Willington, Connecticut, serves Windham County and northeastern Connecticut near Hartford. Daniel Lee has more than 12 years of experience raising Large Black pigs and maintains all breeding stock under regular health screenings with documented registrations through national livestock associations.

Each sow and boar at Cowlick Farms lives on mixed-grass pasture with access to a ventilated hoop barn for shelter, where daily enrichment activities encourage natural foraging behaviors. Newborn litters are nurtured in clean, temperature-controlled stalls before gentle socialization with family members to build trust and ease weaning transitions. Feeding protocols emphasize locally milled grains and seasonal forages to support steady growth and robust immune systems.

The farm traces its roots to a multigenerational homestead that adapted sustainable practices to swine production, offering occasional on-site visits to showcase traditional husbandry methods. Piglets typically adapt smoothly to small-scale and commercial settings, reflecting Cowlick Farms’ focus on genetic soundness and lifelong welfare.
