Julianas are a true miniature pig, but they are NOT teacup pigs, although they are that small at birth.
Juliana's overall coat color ranges from silvery white to dark pewter, with black spots. The spots are required for registration!
There is no such thing as a "teacup" pig, regardelss of what disreputable sellers may tell you. Julianas are the smallest of all registered pigs. They will normally grow to 13-18" at the shoulder and will weigh 50 - 120 lb at maturity. The average Potbelly pig will mature at 130 - 250 lb, and Kune Kunes range from 150 - 300lb.
In comparison, a standard Yorkshire farm pig matures at 450-800 lb, making all of the above true miniatures!
Our Julianas have been selected for strong conformation and meat characteristics. Juliana pork is rich, tender and dark red, more flavorful than standard pork but with no gamey flavor.
We have raised Juliana pigs for over a decade, selecting for even, lean muscling and gentle temperaments. Our sows will allow us to handle their newborns without aggression. When we moved back to Canada in 2021, we were able to import our core herd of best animals with us, after considerable expense, testing and a 3-month quarantine period. We are very proud of our Julianas, and eager to share our genetics!
Our pigs are all registered through the Juliana Pig Association and Registry (JPAR).
The JPAR is dedicated to ensuring the quality and breed standards of this wonderful miniature breed! There is a wealth of information on their site for you.
