Guinea Hog Breed Profile |
|
History of Guinea Hogs: Guinea hogs have had a plethora of names: Yard Pigs, Snake Eaters, Acorn Eaters or Pineywoods Guineas. Most believe they came from West Africa and the Canary Islands to America in conjunction with the slave trade. Guinea hogs are critically rare and can be found only in very small groups in a few states in the Southeast. It's said that fewer than 200 now exist in the United States.
Conformation: They are a small hog, weighing between 85 and 250 pounds. They're solid black with large pricked ears and a straight or very slightly dished snout. They're hair rather than bristly and are flat backed, larger in the shoulder than in the ham. Described as a true miniature pig, Guineas are proportionate in stature, unlike the potbellied pig, which is a dwarf.
Special Consideration/Notes on Guinea Hogs: Guinea Hogs are adaptable and suited to sustainable or low-input systems. They forage and graze well, gaining weight nicely on grass and weeds. They're also good mothers, averaging eight piglets per litter.
