Since it's mostly just my husband and I now we don't raise any hogs. I bet the black and white scrappy pig was cute too.

Yes, lots of breeds of pigs .... just as there are for dogs, cows, horses and and and .......

Glad it helped you be a little more aware of the food that we eat and where it comes from.
