Have been breeding these red/brown and white saddle pigs now for 18 years  and have quite a nucleus of sows and boars for future breeding.   Interested in having a few different lines of these pigs.  They are good for the outdoors due to their colour.  They range from light brown to a ginger  to a chocolate brown.  The come in the erect ear and the lop ear.    They are  also good eating when it comes time for making sausages.  They are good milkers and have some great litters.  They are a fairly docile sort of pig.

It is quite unique here in Australia, we dont have the variety of blood lines and we are not allowed to bring any thing in to Australia  since 1992.     We are basically a closed country when it comes to bringing in genetics for pigs.   My vet is very imrpessed and has not seen the work any where that he has travelled, and he does travel the world working in the pig industry.....
