Hogs

Red Wattle Hogs

These large red hogs are named for the decorative wattles on the side of their necks.  These wattles have no known function.  The red color comes in a variety of shades with some black speckles or patches.  Their ears are upright with droopy tips. Considered an outstanding choice for pasture-based swine production, Red Wattles are known for hardiness, foraging activity, rapid growth rate and gentle nature.  Their meat is exceptionally lean and juicy.  This breed has never been supported by an active breed association and is listed on the ALBC Conservation Priority List as being critically endangered.

Duroc

The modern Duroc pig is a medium size animal with a fairly long body.  Coloration can range from an orangy brown to a light golden to a deep mahogany red.  They characteristically have large litters that grow quickly.  They are known for deep bodies, broad hams and shoulders with high levels of tenderness.  They survive well in both cold and hot climates.  They have a relatively calm temperment, but can be tenacious when caring for a litter.

Miscellaneous Pig Breeds

We also have some miscellaneous breeds of pigs from time to time.
