Saving Mangalica: How the rare 'sheep-pig' was rescued | Animals | Forums

Good video, can really see the boar attitude coming out in some of them. Good info in the contact session, many of these went to the East Coast of the US.

Will figure out my needs or expected needs for a 50% fat pig. Mostly want it for curing meat. If used for sausages I would need around 30-50 of them a year.

I first had a cured cut of bacon from this pig in Tangier around 11 years ago. Mother-law brought me a chunk which at the time was some of the most heavenly fatty pork I had ever tasted.

Trying to decide how to incorporate them (pig/boars) with duck, lamb and rabbits. These are the animals I always am searching for the best of for the shop, well lots of pork here of course but these piggies are something special. So thinking I should finally just get into farming instead of talking about it for another decade.

It will probably take a year to get a few here (Hungary or Austria to CR) to start breeding with. Thinking it might be easier to do out of Canada or the US. Build a breeding stock base while waiting for papers to get stamped. Besides not sure if my 3 year plan has me still in this country.

I think after a second child and 12 years on the road as a couple/married we are getting a bit homesick or craving a change of earthly position. Although if farming I would rather give that a go here.
