FAQ Scholarship Showmanship Questions Terminology Tips
Q: My county doesn't offer any swine clinics, workshops, etc. Do you offer any clinics?
A: Absolutely! All show pig clinics are free to our customers. In addition to the clinics, our customer service to our customers is the best you can find anywhere (we dare you to compare)!

Q: What is your vaccination program?
A: All showpigs are given an IPD shot (combination of Iron, Penicillin, and Draxxin) at less than 24 hours of age and we follow up with a additional shot at 7 days of age. At 4 weeks of age, we will vaccinate our pigs with a Myco/Circo/Flu/Ery shot, which is formulated by Dr. Dale Hendrickson. This covers mycoplasma pneumonia, circovirus, strains of the swine flu, and erysipelas. We follow up with this shot again at 6 weeks of age. All pigs are wormed before being sold.

Q: Do you allow farm tours for 4-H groups, Ag classes, or individuals?
A: Yes, we encourage visitors to schedule an appointment with us and we’ll be happy to show you our herd.

Q: How can I purchase your show pigs?
A: Since we are dedicated to providing the best service possible to our customers, all pigs are sold privately at the farm. Appointments can be scheduled for almost any day of the week.

Q: I've bought show pigs from other breeders in the past and the show pigs "fell apart" shortly after purchasing them ....how can you guarantee that your pigs are different?
A: Any pig that you view at Riemer Showpigs is certainly true in it's kind, free of paylean and free of any other feed additives. Here at Riemer Showpigs, "What you see is what you get". Our show pig mothers are intensively selected for the production of successful show pigs, therefore their genetics are some of the best in the country.

Q: What breeds do you sell?
A: The majority of the pigs that we sell are crossbreds. However, we do also breed purebred Yorkshires and Hampshires as well.
