We have Mangalitsa piglets available again! We love our Mangalitsa pigs! What are Mangalitsas you may ask? Mangalitsas, in our humble opinion, are the most incredible breed of pig in the world! They have great dispositions, wonderful personalities, and they make great mothers. We have been raising this pig breed on our small farm for over 8 years and would never choose any other breed.
The Mangalitsa is actually regarded as a super heritage breed and is considered a lard pig. Not only is the lard AMAZING and very versatile, but the meat is considered the tastiest pork in the world, often being called the "Kobe beef of pork". The meat of the Mangalitsa is reddish, highly marbled with creamy white fat, and is high in omega-3 fatty acids, natural antioxidants, and an abundance of vitamin D.
We raise our pigs during the spring, summer, and fall primarily on their own pasture where they forage for their food. We also supplement their diet with garden produce, raw milk from our cows, hay, and grain. We also do NOT vaccinate or give antibiotics or growth hormones.
With this current litter, we still have 3 gilts left (a red, and 2 Swallowbellies). If I can get my act together, the parents will all be registered this summer (and so these piglets would be registerable too). We are located 17 miles east of Detroit Lakes, MN. (The first 3 pictures are of our current litter, and the next 3 are of other litters/pigs.)
