Juliana Mini Pigs Raised at Gumpert Homestead

We specialize in raising Juliana Mini Pigs, widely recognized as one of the smallest pig breeds in the world. Known for their compact size, intelligence, and distinctive spotted patterns, Juliana pigs are a unique and rewarding livestock choice for the right homestead environment.

Our Juliana mini pigs are raised with hands-on care, proper nutrition, and a strong focus on long-term health and temperament. We prioritize responsible ownership and education, ensuring every pig is placed with families who understand the commitment required.

What Makes Juliana Mini Pigs Unique

Juliana mini pigs stand apart from other pig breeds due to their:

• Naturally small stature compared to standard pigs

• Lean body structure with long legs and a refined frame

• Intelligent, curious personalities

• Distinctive spotted or mottled coat patterns

Unlike commercial hog breeds, Juliana pigs mature slowly and remain compact when raised on an appropriate diet and care plan.

Size Expectations & Growth

Juliana mini pigs are often referred to as the world’s smallest pig breed, but it’s important to understand realistic expectations.

• Mature height is typically 14–20 inches at the shoulder

• Adult weight varies based on genetics, diet, and care

• Proper feeding is essential to maintaining healthy size

We believe transparency is essential and are always happy to discuss growth expectations honestly.

Temperament & Intelligence

Juliana pigs are highly intelligent and social animals. When raised with consistent handling and structure, they can be:

• Calm and interactive

• Trainable with routine and positive reinforcement

• Strongly bonded to their caretakers

Their intelligence also means they require mental stimulation, enrichment, and clear boundaries.

Housing & Care Requirements

Juliana mini pigs require:

• Secure fencing to prevent rooting and escapes

• Shelter that protects from heat, rain, and cold

• Clean bedding and dry living areas

• Daily interaction and enrichment

They are not low-maintenance animals and thrive best with prepared, committed owners.

Feeding & Nutrition

Proper nutrition plays a major role in the health and size of Juliana pigs.

Their diet should include:

• Balanced pig feed formulated for mini pigs

• Fresh vegetables and forage

• Controlled portions to prevent obesity

• Constant access to clean water

Overfeeding can significantly impact size and health, so education is key.
