I Like Pigs

I am not certain why, however as long as I can remember I like pigs. I found them interesting and cute. I liked pigs and bears. Right now we are talking about pigs. There are many different breeds of pigs, Chester White.

This pig is native to Pennsylvania, USA. They bread from some semi wild hog in Pennsylvania. The wild hogs originally had a dies of mostly hazelnuts and beechnuts because the could forage those.

Captain Jefferies decided he wanted to capitalize on the number of wild hogs. So he imported a boar from England to cross with the wild hogs. There is some question as to which breed he imported. It is most likely the Cumberland or another breed from Bedshire.

This is how the droopy ear Chester White came to be.

  1. I do not like pigs, even the small pet ones. I am not sure why, I just do not find them cute or appealing in any way. Maybe because we had some when I was in high school and they were nasty and totally stinky!
