We have been working to achieve a favourable Homesteading Hog Breed for our local regional and climate here on Mother Earth for several years.
From the prior experience raising commercial pinks in small scale, outside, pasture setting we learned that the characteristics that these hybrid animals display are not suitable for this style of farming.
This drives the desire to collaborate with others, to share our experiences and learn from each other to develop a unique sub breed that will help others in our local economies go about the business of earning their livings.
This sub breed we call the Calicocean Hog, And this is not an end goal, but is a continuous process that will adapt to the changes towards better.
