Anyone have any experience with this hog breed? Ive seen a few for sale on Craigslist in the past. I would like a breeding pair. Their appearance fits perfectly with the image of Destitution Ridge, my ponderosa.

My wife renders a lot of lard. We have jars upon jars of it. Makes the best pie crusts ever and I use to fry fish the few times I catch any. I had been raising Large Black and red wattle breed but sold out when the price was high in this area. I need new pigs.

Thanks for those links LAtrapper. For $1000.00 a guy could get a breeding pair of blonde mangalitzas. Could be living the high life.

We raise them. They are the best eating I have found so far. Slower growing but really good mothers. I have had mothers that weigh about 300 still feeding 150 # pigs that are not her own. Lots of lard as had already been said, and very nice lard too. Crossbreeds are very good too if you just want to get a boar, and get a faster grower with a higher meat to fat ratio. Meat is very red, beefy color.


goals/caught:
rats: 10/0
coon 50/87
mink 10/0
beaver 10/6
possum 0/1
skunk 0/0

they stayed very fat on very little feed . he fed those four hogs a five gallon bucket every other day .he said the only time they would eat it all in one day was if a cold front was coming in . they seemed more content to forage

There is some listed on Bismanonline.com. Go into "Agriculture", then "Other Livestock" then "Pigs"

Thanks for the replies. Illinois probably too far to drive. I'll check out the Bismarck advertisement. My sister lives there.

Look like a group that wouldn't turn down a good joint.

We have a few Mangalista Berkshire crosses. I like them about 75% Berkshire. Full blood Mangalistas are a very fatty hog. They have an extreme amount of marbling in the muscle. We used to sell a few 100% Mangalistas a month to chefs in the cities but they've all switched to either 100% Berkshire or the 75% crosses. We also grow Red Wattles and crosses between them and Berkshire.

They are an easy going hog to raise on pasture.
