Red Tail Ranch

Red Tail Ranch is a swine breeder in Edgewood, NM, Santa Fe County and the Albuquerque metro area. Under the guidance of Len Miller, the ranch has raised heritage hogs for several years and partners with local veterinarians for routine health screenings. Animals are housed in pasture-based systems where they root freely among native grasses, with sturdy shelters available during extreme weather.

Piglets are handled gently from birth to encourage early socialization and reduced stress during weaning. Feed is locally sourced, non-GMO grain blended with seasonal produce to support balanced nutrition. The operation embraces rotational grazing to promote soil fertility, reduce pests and maintain pasture health. The herd features mixed heritage lines selected for resilience in the regional climate, and veterinary students visit regularly for hands-on learning.
