Rachel had 9 piglets in Oct 2017, her first litter.   They are typical American Guinea Hog colors – mostly black ones with some pink with black spots.   Those are called “red” – go figure.    They like to squeeze through the hog panel fencing and run around in the woods with Jack the Goat.   Sadly, the smallest one was crushed while feeding. The Mom Pig has to roll over every 45 minutes when she nurses, to keep from going lop-sided.  Rachel may have rolled over on the little one.  Here are the rest:  “Pigs at Home with Mom Rachel”

American Guinea Hogs are perfect for the small homestead. Full grown they usually top out at 150 – 200 lbs, not as heavy as regular hog breeds. They are quite easy to socialize. Even our “Big Daddy”, Alexander Behemoth, is quite docile.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The pigs are for sale, $40 each.  We have males and females in two sizes – small and medium.  Come by and visit … take a pig home!

Happy Homesteading,
