    Black mangalitsas are extinct, because mangalitsa breeding was shunned during the communist period in Hungary, when the state-owned and unionised farms prefered to breed the same leaner kinds that were becoming profitable in the west at the time.
    The other three kind were barely saved, with only 200 sows being found in the entire country when conversation efforts finally started, and even that was practically by accident: a spanish ham-factory owner came looking for lardy pigs, but the farmers would only show him the lean kind, so he prepared to leave, when one mangalitsa just trotted by. The guy demanded to see it's meat, despite the farmers telling him it's not a good breed, and the rest is history.

      Black Mangalitsas are not quite extinct. Serbia saved some genetics purely by accident. In an remote village somewhere near Romanian border an guy from Leskovac stumbled across an old boar of black manga by chance. He bought him off from an old man for trifles and later he released the boar on swallow belied mangas.. Sumadinka the old serbian breed, now extinct, is one third of manga lives in genetics of Zdravinjska pig- mix of swallow-belied manga and Sumadinka. There is also Moravka, mix of Sumadinka, Black Mangalitsa and Berkshire) . This Moravka is extremely interesting pig created around 1850, probably one of the best foragers and the best mother!
      I Have a herd of Mangalitsas that are living in a forest and among them tree sows that carries the genes of black mangulica, great, great gran daughters of the black boar that I mentioned.

    Just an FYI, I hope you realize that a Berkalitsa cross no longer has the desired fat quality that a pure Mangalitsa has. Meat quality suffers a bit also IMHO.
    Mangalitsa, when pasture raised and not fed corn or soy the fat has the equivalence to Olive Oil as far as Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats! This fat melts below our body temperature! This is the only animal that you can eat the fat and have it help raise HDL and lower LDL cholesterol! Eat a piece of Mangalitsa fat, take a drink of ice water and you will find NO greasy film in your mouth!
    I am VERY passionate about these pigs. I raise them in North Central Iowa. The Iowa Wollschwein Bauernhof or the Iowa Wooly Pig Farm.

    Our girls raised hogs for 4H market animal projects as well as sheep. However, now that they are grown and we do hogs for ourselves as well as fun we have raised another heritage breed Tamworth. You are spot on with the meat quality! The Tamworth were the best pork we've ever raised - bacon fatthy goodness. They took longer to "grow", but they were long and huge! The "plant" we delivered them to for processing said they were the largest hogs they've done. We don't do it for a business, or sell any, just for our family and friends. Thanks for showing us yours!

    An old breed that has been developed well, high cull rate. Only the ones that survive the heat and the cold winters with minimal care are the ones that bred.

    You also need to mention the multiple health benefits of eating Mangalitsa. It is known in Eastern Europe as the "Salmon with 4 legs" ,because its lard consists 70% unsaturated fats.. Also, Mangalita meat is a premium meat ( just like to Angus is considered a premium meat in beef).

    Mangalița (Mangalitsa) is a Transilvanian breed (romanian word).... Transylvania is right on the border with Hungary. I can't believe how many pigs you have!!! They are so well kept.... You, my friend, are amazing.... everything you touch, it trives! I'm very proud of you! Keep it up!😀

      We rotate them between 3 plots every month or based on and foraging needs. My areas are a couple acres! Moving them around helps reduce parasites as well as reducing feed cost and land preservation:)

      @@TheHoneystead I see...well, in southeast asia, we usually give some caladium (angel wings) and cheap rice. Some asian also giving their pigs their household food wastes as well, especially the commercial pink skin pigs but things doesnt work that way for Bornean beared wild pigs, a kind of non breeding pigs (original species) which only can be seen in Borneo Island

    Do you smoke any of your pig products? Do you feed acorn to your pigs? When it comes to slaughtering your pigs, do you have to do it through a butcher or are you allowed to do it yourself and would you do it European style? i.e people would wake up early in the morning to slaughter the pig in a humane way, then they place hay over the mangalitsa pig's body and set it on fire to burn the fur off. Then they scrub all the dead fur and skin off and proceed to cut up the pig based on cuts like leg ham, pork rasher, pig head etc. Do you also do it like this?

    • @TheHoneystead
      @TheHoneystead  5 років тому +2

      We use a USDA butcher to process our meats mainly because we can legally sell it after. I have done them myself and it takes a good day to process! We have a scolding tank to help with fur 😉

    • @agnestakacs2059
      @agnestakacs2059 5 років тому

      Yeah that seems to be the same rules here in Australia. It has to go through a slaughterer and have all kinds of licences and approvals from councils and government.
