Farm-Raised Half and Full Hogs

There is a difference between a hog raised in a commercial confinement operation and one raised by a Hutterite colony. The difference is in how the animal was managed, what it was fed, and who was paying attention.

Main Centre Colony near Main Centre, Saskatchewan has been raising hogs since 1963. These animals are raised drug-free, on the colony, under the daily care of people who live alongside their livestock. No growth promotants. No antibiotics as a production tool. Just clean, colony-raised pork the way it has always been done.

What You Are Buying

Main Centre Colony sells half and full hogs live weight. This is a hog sale, not a butchering service. The colony delivers the animal and you arrange processing through your own butcher or facility. For buyers who already have a processor relationship, this is the cleanest, most direct way to source Saskatchewan-raised pork at a straightforward price.

• Half Hog: Half the animal, live weight pricing at $2.75 per lb. Right for smaller households, first-time buyers, or anyone splitting an order with a neighbour.

• Full Hog: The complete animal, live weight pricing at $2.75 per lb. Best value for large families, colony stores, or buyers who go through pork quickly and want to fill the freezer properly.

Drug-Free, Colony-Raised

Main Centre Colony’s hogs are raised without drugs. That means no routine antibiotic use, no growth hormones, and no pharmaceutical shortcuts to push production. The hogs grow on a colony feeding program managed by the same people who have been doing it for over sixty years. That track record is not something a commercial operation can offer.

Honest Pricing. No Middleman.

At $2.75 per lb live weight, you are buying direct from the colony. No retail margin. No distributor. No cold chain markup. The price reflects what it costs to raise a drug-free, colony-managed hog in Saskatchewan, and nothing more.
