Mangalitza pigs

[Moobli]

We have had five Mangalitza pigs on the Estate for the past four weeks. They are such characters and are extremely cute! Thankfully they are a slow growing breed so should be around for a couple of years at least.

Oh wow they look prehistoric!

They are! Kind of a cross between a wild boar and a sheep 😊

Very cute, do they have a job to do?

 

[Moobli]

Meat at some point, sadly.

Aren’t they strange! I like them, I’m not a big pig fan usually but these guys are pretty cool!

They are very different - much more wild boar than domestic pig.

They are very strange! I have Kunes and then are hairy but it doesn’t look as odd on them.
