North Fork Ranch

North Fork Ranch raises Idaho pasture pigs in Bee Branch, AR, in Van Buren County and the Little Rock area. The ranch follows recommended health protocols and works with experienced veterinarians to monitor breeding stock, parasite levels and overall piglet health. Animals roam wooded pastures by day and have access to roomy shelters built for shade and protection. Piglets attend daily handling sessions from one week old and enjoy supervised group play to encourage social bonds.

This family operation emphasizes gentle handling from birth and rotates pastures to support soil health and natural foraging. The owner has decades of farming experience and tailors care plans to each sow, fostering consistent growth and calm temperaments. The Idaho pasture pig thrives in this regimen, showing robust frames and easygoing behavior. The operation engages with local agricultural groups to share best practices and preserve this heritage strain.
