I'm hoping a new thread might get some interest. I have a mini pig boar and I want to breed him to my sow who is a black English hog, to create a small pasture pig. Black English hogs have exceptionally flavored meat but mini pigs...? according to my research potbelly and such have fairly decent tasting meat if raised as meat pigs, but the meat texture is not so good. Would a mix just ruin the quality provided by the sow's breed? I don't want 200lb of sausage. Should I look for a Tamworth boar instead? Or maybe a KuneKune? Anyone have experience on taste of the Kunekune compared to potbelly or conventional pig pork?
Anyone eat any mixes? or have photos of potbelly mixes?
I planed to sell some of the mixes as discount feeders and raise a few on pasture for my family.
Also if I did breed her to a mini do I need a platform or something? or can he do the deed all natural?
