Why CT Ranch Pork?

At CT Ranch, we take pride in raising our pigs the right way. Our heritage breed pigs (Berkshire and Red Wattle Cross )are sustainably raised on pasture, where they forage naturally and live their best life in our "Pig Oasis." We supplement their diet with garden veggies, fruits, kitchen scraps, and even leftover raw milk from our pastured A2 Brown Swiss dairy cows. Plus, they receive an organic, soy-free grain to support their growth and development.

The result? Delicious, healthy pork with unbeatable flavor year after year. And because our pigs are never given hormones, steroids, or antibiotics, you can trust that you're getting only the best quality meat for your family.

All About Buying Bulk Pork:

  • Whole Pork Info: Our pigs typically have an approximate hanging weight of 200-250 lbs, resulting in a final weight between 100-125 lbs depending on your chosen cutting selections. The butcher will reach out to you directly after the scheduled kill date to confirm your cutting instructions.
  • Half Pork Info: Similarly, our half pigs have an approximate hanging weight of 200-250 lbs, with a final weight between 80-125 lbs depending on your cutting selections. Again, the butcher will contact you after the kill date to finalize your instructions.
  • Additional Costs: Please note that the price does not include the Kill Fee and Custom Cut & Wrap services provided by our local butcher. These fees will be paid directly to the butcher at pickup.

Planning Tips and Estimates:

When purchasing bulk pork, it's essential to consider freezer space and meal planning. A whole pig typically requires about 7-10 cubic feet of freezer space, while a half pig needs approximately 3-5 cubic feet. As for meal planning, a whole pig can feed a family of four for about 6-9 months, while a half pig can last around 3-4 months.

Availability and Ordering:

Bulk pork deposits are available for pickup on select dates for the months of September, October & November of 2024. 

Please note that our all months are already sold out, so be sure to secure your order soon to avoid missing out!

The Truth About Fats: Part 1

The Truth About Fats: Part 1

How Seed Oils Took Over Our Tables 🧑‍🌾 A New Series from CT RanchWelcome to the first part of our three-part series, The Truth About Fats. Over the next three months, we’ll be walking through how our food — and our health — changed when the world turned away from traditional animal fats and toward industrial seed oils. It’s a story that goes back much farther than most people realize… all the way to the 1800s. 🕯️ From Candles to the Kitchen It all started in 1837 when two enterprising men, Proctor and Gamble, began making candles out of cottonseed oil instead of animal tallow. It was a clever use of a cheap byproduct of the cotton industry, and for a while, it worked — until the lightbulb came along. When Edison’s electric company lit up homes in 1882, the need for candles plummeted. Suddenly, Proctor & Gamble had barrels of leftover cottonseed oil and no place for it to go. But instead of throwing it out, they looked for another way to sell it — and that’s where everything began to change. 🥣 The Birth of Crisco By 1903, scientists had figured out how to hydrogenate cottonseed oil — changing its color, texture, and smell to resemble animal fat. A few years later, in 1911, Proctor & Gamble launched their new product: Crisco. It was marketed as “cleaner, lighter, and modern.” Ads showed smiling homemakers and happy families gathered around golden-fried foods. It was cheaper than butter or lard, and before long, kitchens across America were filled with tins of Crisco instead of jars of rendered fat. By 1933, the company switched from cottonseed to soybean oil, an even cheaper option — and the rest is history. 🌾 A Shift Away from Tradition Over time, the oils that were once considered cheap industrial byproducts became everyday staples. And somehow, the fats that nourished generations before us — butter, tallow, lard — were labeled as “unhealthy.” But if you trace the story back, you’ll see that this wasn’t about health at all. It was about marketing, money, and convenience. The result? A nation that lost touch with the natural, stable fats that were part of God’s good design for nourishment. 🔍 Time to Look Deeper Today, the debate continues — seed oils vs. traditional animal fats. But when you start digging into the history and science, the truth speaks for itself. In the meantime, check out below of the traditional fats we offer here at CT Ranch to bring real nourishment back to your family table. Beef Fat (Suet)Butter And be sure to keep an eye out for next month’s newsletter, where we’ll dive into Part 2: The Hidden Side Effects of Seed Oils — what they do inside the body, and why returning to time-honored fats can help us heal.

Farm Dogs: The Real Bosses of the Ranch

Farm dogs don’t clock in—but they DO have very official roles that conveniently come with zero paperwork and unlimited union breaks. While every farm runs a little differently, most hard-working ranch mutts and pedigreed pros share a familiar list of “job duties,” whether they live here at CT Ranch or somewhere across the country:

“Shots, Germs, and Terrain:” Unpopular Opinions and Controversial Topics.

Out here at CT Ranch, we keep things pretty simple. When it comes to our animals, the only shot we give our calves is for brucellosis — and that’s just once, when they’re little. Why? Because in our experience, brucellosis is a very real risk, and the vaccine does a good job of minimizing it. We haven’t yet found a better way to handle that particular threat, so we use it. Beyond that, we put our trust in strong terrain, good forage, clean water, and plenty of sunshine. That got me thinking about the bigger picture: vaccines, germs, and the theories we’ve all been taught to accept as gospel.
