Walking Spear Farm & Ranch

Walking Spear Farm & Ranch, Idaho pasture pigs, and Duncan, AZ, in Greenlee County near Phoenix is dedicated to raising a small herd with a focus on welfare and breed authenticity. Ralph and Marcella Harris have bred pigs for more than a decade and follow standard health testing protocols for parasites and respiratory health.

Their pigs range freely through rotational pastures, wooded corners and open fields, receiving fresh water, mineral supplements and locally sourced grains to complement natural foraging. Piglets are gently handled from an early age and join family life for consistent socialization and calm manners. This heritage breed is valued for its hardy constitution and ability to thrive outdoors. Neighbors often remark on the animals’ steady temperament and the farm’s thoughtful approach to sustainable husbandry. They have welcomed regional extension agents and share insights at local livestock exhibitions.
