Search by Breed Red Wattle
Red Wattle pigs are a unique American heritage breed known for their red coats and distinctive wattles—small, fleshy appendages that hang from each side of the neck. Originally developed in the southern U.S., Red Wattles are prized for their hardiness, fast growth, and flavorful, marbled meat. They thrive in pasture-based systems and are well-suited for sustainable farming practices.
Large, strong, and active, Red Wattles are excellent foragers and can adapt to a variety of climates. Their calm dispositions, combined with their exceptional meat quality, make them a popular choice for farmers focused on heritage pork production.
