L&M Ranch is located in beautiful southern Colorado near the town of La Veta. We are a diversified farm with a focus on natural livestock husbandry and regenerative agricultural practices. We pasture and organically feed pork, beef and lamb and offer our exceptional meats for sale directly from our ranch, at farmers markets and online through our website. In addition to our two modern breeds of sheep Royal White and Texel, we raise 4 different heritage breeds, Large Black Hogs, Black Welsh Mountain and Shetland Sheep and Belted Galloway Cattle. We believe that by raising Heritage Breeds we are helping to ensure biodiversity in livestock genetics which is vitally important to the future of agriculture, and heritage breeds also are very well suited to small scale diversified farms.

Located in Central Southern Iowa we have been raising purebred Large Black Pigs since 2013. We are members of the British Pig Association and lifetime members of the LBHA. Our family maintains a stable and consistent meat market allowing us to be extremely selective in our breeding stock. The more meat we produce the happier our hungry customers are! Only animals that meet breed conformation are bred and 1-2 animals per litter are kept back as potential breeders for us or buyers. We currently have American stock and British/American stock available for sale. In 2016 we imported three female lines from Great Britain including Blackie, Constance, and Nocturne which we have been breeding with our American boars. Our female American lines include Charlotte, Grandeur, Matilda, Prudence, and Warbler. Our male American lines are Defender and Super. We sell proven boars, proven gilts (1 litter born and reared), proven sows (2 + litters reared), adolescent males for breeding, adolescent gilts for breeding, barrows, and weaned piglets (10 weeks and older) for breeding. We export internationally, have on farm quarantine facilities, and a dedicated veterinarian for all required tests. We can fly pigs at buyer's expense from six different Midwest Airports including Kansas City, Omaha, Des Moines, St. Louis, Chicago, and Minneapolis.
