    CHEF'S CORNER:  THE  TASTE  OF  RED  WATTLE  PORK

    that included meat from six heritage hog breeds, including RED WATTLE.

    RED WATTLE Hogs/Pigs  for  Sale

    Our desire at FIVE PONDS FARM  (and BISHOP FARM and VIRINDA FARMS owned by
    our friends) is to supply you with the best RED WATTLE HOG breeding stock and butcher hogs available
    on this continent.  Some of our boars (males), therefore, get quite large (some over 1000 lbs).  

    We provide the paperwork and guarantee these hogs to be register-able through
    The American Livestock Breeds Conservancy.

    and farm duds (right).  

    Depending on the
    time of year, his color
    can range from
    almost black to almost
    red (his undercoat is
    fairly blond, as can
    be seen when his
    hair is ruffled, as
    in the right photo).   
(Hog on right is Landrace-Duroc/Red Wattle cross).

    operation, whether it be large or small.

  • gain weight quickly, as  they are
    less  active than most swine  breeds.

  • can reach a weight  of  over  1200  pounds
    and  can be colored red or  black
    or a shade in-between.
