Jenna Shafer

Jenna Shafer raises American Guinea hogs in Albany, Ohio, situated in Southeastern Ohio near Columbus. She participates in recognized heritage hog registry programs and ensures regular veterinary health screenings, including tests for brucellosis and pseudorabies, for all breeding stock. Her pasture-based approach supports natural foraging behaviors and consistent socialization from an early age, with mineral-rich pastures supplemented by non-GMO feed and secure shelters to protect against the elements.

Jenna offers open-farm tours by appointment, introduces visitors to herd management practices and shares care guidelines through local agriculture workshops. One visitor noted the hoglets’ calm temperament and sturdy build, reflecting her attentive husbandry practices.

Her family has maintained this property for three generations, providing a stable environment for heritage hogs. Breeding records are kept in detail, covering lineage, health checks and temperament notes. This balanced focus on traditional methods and transparent practices appeals to livestock enthusiasts and small-scale farmers seeking healthy foundation stock.
