Hillbilly Acres

Hillbilly Acres, Large Black pigs, Clarkridge, Arkansas, is a farm nestled in the Ozark Mountains near Springfield. It maintains breeding stock under routine health testing protocols and follows guidelines from national swine associations. Animals live in pasture-based pens year-round, with daily socialization and shelter from the elements.

Owner Ray Frazier draws on years of heritage breeding to select for sound structure and calm temperaments while preserving traditional foraging abilities. Pigs are rotated on fresh grazing areas to support soil health and natural behaviors. Hillbilly Acres also offers a glimpse of small-farm life during seasonal open days, reflecting a commitment to transparency and animal welfare. Each litter is raised on rotational pasture to encourage robust immune development and early exposure to varied farm environments, with regular veterinary checkups to meet evolving welfare standards. Pasture management supports native grasses and wildlife habitat on the farm.
