Show Piglet Pickup - Aug Shows Updates
Please read before arriving
Pickup for these will be March 19th at 2pm. Cash only will be accepted.
- Piglets will be picked up March 19th at Bartell Farm in the cow barn between the road and the horse arena. (off farm pigs are not allowed in my pig barn. I'll have any homegrown piglets in the same location for the first people on my list to choose from. I know this is not ideal, but the best I can do this year.
- As always, piglets will be chosen according to your placement on my list. Please show up by 2pm. If you are late you will get skipped and moved to the bottom of the list.
- Farm Address: 68500 Grays Corner rd. Imbler OR 97841. Blue and grey buildings. These piglets are in the barn past the mail boxes.
- piglets are large piglets, no more than 2 will fit in a medium dog crate.
- *** These piglets will be stressed from the haul and shuffle, so extra care will be needed. I highly recommend you start them on a high quality show pig starter like Purina Honor show feed, or we use Cache feeds swine starter from Animal Health Center. I'll have some bags for sale for $44 each. I'll have them under heat lamps with electrolyte/probiotic water also. They have been barn raised (heated barn), so a warm dry home is a must for a while.
- These piglets are a different type of show hog than I raise, they will need extra special care and feed to get them to weight.
- I will send piglets out with paperwork as always. You must keep this for your records.

About Our Pigs
At Bartell Farm, we strive to fill the void in pork production in our area by raising quality finished “happy pork” as well as raising healthy and affordable piglets for our local 4-H and FFA kids. Our pigs spend most of their lives in large paddocks to ensure their happiness. We feed a homemade mixture of peas, garbanzos, wheat and barley as well as supplying grass hay and alfalfa in large paddocks giving them lots of variety. Our pigs spend the majority of their lives out in large paddocks, getting as spoiled as we can. We do farrow in farrowing crates, but litters are moved to stalls after a few days allowing them to have more room. We exclusively sell our finished pork by the package through
Community Merchants at 1210 Adams in La Grande
and often have piglets available throughout the year. Food list is at the bottom of the page.
