Title: My Young Sons New Litter. 'Red Mangalitza piggies'
Post by: Hairy Hogs on May 08, 2011, 10:33:57 am

Hi there, young 'Hairy Hogs' managing director, Paddy has a lovely first litter of 7 Mangalitza curly coated 'thingies'.

3 boars and 4 gilts, will be ready middle of June for collection.

Mum was one of Tony Yorks original bloodlines.  Paradise Curly, Paradise Princess, Paradise Leader and Paradise Bonny being names on the BPA registration papers.  Way back last summer when young Paddy bought her with his Christmas money, Tony assured him of her purity!

Any interested parties please look us up and drop us an email!

We are near Olney in Bucks, and are looking for £100 for the youngsters!  A bargain when you see the price of such a pure bred gilt, and and even bigger bargain when you research the price of 'Parma Ham'! ;D

Thanks for looking
Jason & Paddy

Congratulations! I hope you get good homes for all the pigglies. I just don't "get" Mangalitzas though - I think they look weird. It would be like a woolless sheep. Maybe I should look at them more  ;D

She's very pretty (I've seen some right ugly ones  ;)) and what a fantastic colour - hope you get them all good homes.
