Wild Boar Meat in Regina, Saskatoon, Yorkton and Saskatchewan

This type of meat is very lean due to the animals’ fat being concentrated in a single layer under the skin instead of it being marbled throughout the meat. This means the fat can be easily trimmed if required, but many cooks believe the fat layer provides a "self-basting" element and helps retain succulence. Golden Prairie Wild Boar Meats is a family run business. Originally from North West England where we had a sheep and dairy farm we came over to Canada in November 2007 to farm in Saskatchewan. We thought Saskatchewan was the perfect place to raise animals as there is plenty of land and ideal conditions to allow the animals to stay in their natural environment, free range. Our wild boar meat used to be shipped to Japan but we decided we would like to bring our good wholesome meat to the Saskatchewan people. We started to sell our meat at Farmers markets in September 2009. Frequently Asked QuestionsIs wild Boar the same as domestic pig? No, it is the wild ancestor of the domestic pig.
