The Red Wattle is a large, red hog with a fleshy wattle attached to each side of the neck. The wattles have no known function. Red Wattle hogs are known for hardiness, foraging activity, and rapid growth rate. They produce a well marbled flavorful meat that has been described as similar to beef. The sows are excellent mothers, farrow from 7 to12 piglets, and provide good quantities of milk for their large litters. Red Wattles adapt to a wide range of climates. Their active foraging makes them a good choice in outdoor or pasture-based swine production. They have a mild temperament, and their gentle nature recommends them to the small-scale, independent producers. Mature animals weigh 600 to 800 pounds but may weigh as much as 1,200 pounds.
