What is a "Saddleback"?
Saddleback is a breed of pig known for its distinctive black and white color pattern and sturdy build. Saddlebacks are medium to large-sized pigs with a long body, strong legs, and a straight back. They have a characteristic white band that runs across their shoulders and down their sides, with a black coloration on the front and back. Saddlebacks are known for their docile temperament, good mothering instincts, and excellent foraging ability. They are well-suited for outdoor or free-range systems, as they are hardy, adaptable, and able to thrive in a variety of environments. Saddleback pork is known for its high-quality meat, with good marbling and flavor, and is popular among small-scale and sustainable pig farmers. Saddleback pigs are considered a heritage breed and efforts are made to preserve and promote their genetic diversity.
