Road Trip

Yesterday, my wife Jane and I set out on an adventure! We traveled to Perry, Mo. to drop off one of our red wattle boars and pick up a new gilt. Yup, we are expanding the herd! Let's hope that demand for our red wattle pork will keep up with production. If you are not familiar with the red wattle hog, you are missing out. The red wattle is a heritage breed hog listed as critically endangered by the American Livestock Breed Conservancy. They are great mothers, fast growing and best of all....great tasting. The meat is a dark red and the flavor is reminiscent of the pork that grandma used to make.
