Mangalitza Hungarian Curly Hair Pig 15.01.11

Pig mat 15.01.11

We called in the farm today at Burley Fields Lake. Have you seen the new pigs  Steve's just got Pam said, whilst tidying up the farm shop, I grabbed a camera with a low light lens, 35mm 1.8G for the photographers and made my way up the yard in almost darkness to be met by what can only be described as a cross between a Coir mat and a sheep but in fact is a Hungarian pig called a ‘Mangalitza’ UK spelling ,‘Mangalica Hungarian spelling  and I thought pigs were, well pig like, you know pinkish, some with spots and generally smooth coated. I was told they are aggressive but this one was quite shy, so I'll be back as they say, and hopefully get some more pictures.

I’m sure he winked at me……….
