L&M Ranch

L&M Ranch is a Large Black pig breeder in La Veta, Colorado, in Southern Colorado near Alamosa. L&M Ranch participates in national swine associations and follows recommended health screening protocols to support robust, sound genetics and overall herd vitality. Liorah Crockett personally oversees daily routines, ensuring each litter receives individualized care from birth through weaning. Pigs are raised in pasture-based paddocks where they receive daily socialization and forage opportunities, allowing their natural behaviors to flourish.

The ranch’s roots in homestead tradition trace back several generations, blending hands-on livestock stewardship with modern welfare practices. Sheltered feeding huts with straw bedding help maintain comfort through seasonal temperature shifts and varying weather. Biosecurity measures include controlled visitor access and routine facility sanitation to protect herd health. Young pigs transition gradually to a varied diet and gentle handling from weaning onward, preparing them for lifelong well-being.
