Our PotBelly Juliana pig is a sweet boy. He is a pet on our farm and while he can be used as a breeding boar, we have no plans to do so right now. He is a love with a puppy dog attitude. He is the star of the fairs and petting zoos we go to!
The PotBelly Pig
The Pot Belly Pig, better known as the Vietnamese pot-bellied pig, is a breed of domestic pig with short legs and a low-hanging belly. As the name suggests, this breed originated in Vietnam. One of the smaller domestic breeds, this pig typically measures about 14 in. tall and weighs around 100 lbs. or so. They have thick, black skin, coarse black hair on their bodies, and heavy jowls on their faces.
While people think they will make good pets (and in some cases they can be) they usually get too big to be a normal house pet. They are very friendly, however and can live more than 20 years when well cared for
The Mangalista Pig
We started our farm with the Mangalista pig. While we abosulutely loved them and felt they were an amazing fit for our farm and our extreme cold environment, they were hard to sell and expensive to grow out. For now we will no longer have them.
They are a heritage Hungarian breed with wool. People driving by our farm often slow down and look, mistaking our pigs for sheep! We feed them quality hay and non gmo feed from local sources. They are well loved and spend their days rooting up the ground and foraging for treats in our wooded acres.
We are by no means experts in this breed, but we are learning more every day! If you want more info from the experts, check out this site:
