Why Raise Guinea Hogs?
They are endangered. Their DNA is verified as a unique hog species classified as threatened by the Livestock Conservancy.
They are a pleasure to work with, calm, gentle temperaments. They get along well with other livestock like horses, chickens, cows or goats. They are a moderate size at maturity (150-350 lbs.) making home processing easy, day-to-day handling easier, and easier on farm infrastructure.
They are hardy, thrifty, and make expert foragers requiring far less supplemental feed than larger breeds. They work well in livestock rotation systems or open pasture. They are perfect for rejuvenating unused acreage and breaking down brush. Sows normally farrow easily and without assistance.
The American Guinea Hogs produces superior pork with unparalleled flavor, texture, and quality – far superior to grocery store pork. Mature hogs (15+ months of age) provide a nice, well-marbled carcass and juvenile hogs (7-8 month or so) make top-notch roasters. The muscle to fat ratio is ideal for charcuterie. Their lard is nutritious and useful for cooking, soap making, candle making, skin care products.
