Kelly Reichman and Trena Reichman raise Large Black pigs in Julesburg, Colorado, on the eastern Colorado plains near Denver.

They have been breeding Large Black pigs for more than a decade with stock registered through the Livestock Conservancy and routinely screened for common swine health markers. Their pigs live in pasture-based pens with daily access to fresh forage and a rotational grazing setup that supports soil health and welfare. They emphasize early handling to encourage calm temperaments, and the piglets become accustomed to regular human interaction. They supplement pasture forage with a mix of non-GMO grains sourced from local growers to support steady growth. Detailed health records and lineages are provided to buyers, reflecting the breeders’ commitment to transparency and breed preservation.

Several of the sows and boars have earned ribbons at regional fairs, and recent feedback highlights the animals’ hardiness and friendly nature. The farm combines traditional techniques with sustainable practices passed down through the Reichman family.
