Hog Butcher Day at The Crouch Ranch, our first American Guinea Hog

Here is our first American Guinea Hog, raised and processed at The Crouch Ranch. We have been looking into different breeds of hog and decided to give this one a try. The American Guinea hog tends to run a bit smaller, perhaps 150 lbs as opposed to the 250-300lb processing weigth of the breeds we have been raising. They were once a very popular choice for homesteaders but as the need for cooking lard reduced over the years (these hogs make alot of wonderful lard) The breed was replaced by the faster growing larger market hogs that we see in the grocery stores today. By 1900 it was believed that as few as 100 of these hogs remained in the United States and they are considered one of the rarest Heritage breeds today.
