Identifying Features:

History:

  • The three female pigs are sisters aquired from Pig Wing Farms (November 2025)

More Information:

  • They are one of the oldest pig breeds in the world, going back over 5,000 years in China.

  • They are named after the lake in China's Jiangsu province.

  • Meishan pigs are a sedentary breed and sleep much of the day.

  • Unlike most pig breeds, Meishans thrive on a diet higher in fiber and roughage; they are a true grazing hog and can thrive on pasture. They are also thought to have a lower environmental impact on pastures compared to other heritage and commercial swine breeds.
