Mulefoot Pigs

Mulefoot is an American pig breed, named for its non-cloven hoof which looks like the hoof of a mule. The breed descended from the Spanish hogs brought to the Americas beginning in the 1500s. By 1900, the Mulefoot had become a standardized breed, valued for ease of fattening and production of meat, lard, and especially hams. Mulefoot pigs weigh 400–600 pounds. They are solid black with ears pricked forward. This hardy breed forages well. They usually have litters of 5-6 piglets, and the sows make excellent mothers.

The Mulefoot breed is critically rare. As of 2006 there were fewer than 200 purebred hogs documented. Our drove of mulefoots enjoys outdoor paddocks where they root around. Aside from pasture plants, they eat hay, corn and food waste from Farley Hill Elementary. We usually have mulefoot pigs, freezer pork and lard for sale.
