The American Guinea Hog is a true American heritage breed of domestic farm pig, perhaps over 200 years old. It has been determined through genetic testing that the American Guinea Hog is a distinct breed.
The American Guinea Hog is the ideal sustainable heritage farm pig, known for its moderate size, excellent foraging abilities, friendly temperament, excellent flavored meat and indispensable lard. It is a good-sized farm pig providing a nice, well-marbled carcass.
A well-conditioned, fully adult hog ranges from 150 to 300 pounds, depending on sex, frame size and body condition. Because American Guinea Hogs easily fatten, care should be taken to NOT overfeed, especially with grain. We believe in healthy feeding and use lots of vegetables and pasture for all of our farm animals. The American Guinea Hog fits right in with the rest of our loveable creatures.
