Breed Choctaw Hog
Choctaw Hogs are a rare heritage breed known for their hardiness and historical ties to early Native American agriculture. Believed to have descended from Spanish pigs brought to the southeastern U.S. in the 1500s, they were carefully maintained by the Choctaw people for centuries. Their genetic resilience and adaptability make them a valuable link to America’s agricultural past.
These pigs are small-framed and agile, well-adapted to forage-based systems and rough terrain. Choctaw Hogs are known for their high-quality lard-type meat and strong maternal instincts. With their natural foraging ability and self-sufficiency, they remain an important breed for sustainable and regenerative farming practices.
- A APPEARANCE Small, lean, often dark spotted
