Eagle's Rest Farm

Eagle’s Rest Farm, Idaho pasture pigs, Bismarck, AR, Hot Spring County near Little Rock, raises stock suited to sustainable pastures. They follow established health protocols including regular veterinary checkups and biosecurity measures to support robust herds. Animals live outdoors on rotated pastures with open shelters, and piglets are handled daily to encourage calm temperaments and easy integration.

The Shankletons bring a family-led approach, drawing on hands-on care and close observation of each sow and boar. Sows farrow naturally on pasture, and each litter gains access to fresh forage within days of birth. Their selection emphasizes hardiness, docility, and strong maternal instincts, traits prized by small-scale farms.

Every piglet is provided iron supplements at two weeks and monitored for steady weight gain, reflecting consistent attention to detail. Through careful record-keeping, they track lineage and performance to maintain genetic diversity and practical traits for pasture life.
