The Pigs Behind Texas Iberico
Humanely Raised. Pasture Grazed.
For Texas Iberico, these words describe pigs raised outdoors on rotating pastures, with access to shelter, clean water and room to root, forage and socialize. The following practices explain the animal-raising claims you’ll find on our packaging.
No Antibiotics Ever
The pigs that supply our pork are raised without antibiotics.
No Added Hormones
We do not administer added hormones to the pigs that supply our pork.
No Animal By-Products in Feed
Our pigs receive supplemental feed made without animal by-products, alongside the plants they forage on pasture.
Not Restrained in Farrowing Crates or Gestation Stalls
Our breeding pigs are not confined in farrowing crates or gestation stalls.
Look for the Animal Welfare Certified Mark
When you see the green Animal Welfare Certified mark on a Texas Iberico package, it identifies a product participating in Global Animal Partnership’s animal welfare certification program. The program uses independent third-party audits to assess farms against its animal welfare standards.
Check the individual package for the certification mark. If you have a question about a particular product, contact us.
A Heritage Breed. A Texas Home.
Iberico pigs originated on the Iberian Peninsula and are prized for their rich marbling. At Trails End Ranch, this Spanish heritage finds a Texas expression through the land, the forage and the time we give our pigs to grow.
Room to Roam. Time to Grow
Our pigs live outdoors on rotating pastures, where they root, forage and socialize. Supplemental feed supports balanced nutrition alongside their pasture diet. Raised for up to 18 months, they have time for natural growth and development.
Caring for the Land
Pasture rotation gives grazed areas time to rest and recover. Caring for our pigs and caring for the land go hand in hand at Trails End Ranch.
Better Practices Create Better Pork
The way an animal lives shapes the food it becomes. By raising Iberico pigs outdoors, feeding a diverse forage driven diet, and allowing time for natural growth, Texas Iberico produces pork with depth, balance, and character that reflects the land it comes from.
