Mangalitsa Piglets & Feeders For Sale
Mangalitsa is a rare pig breed originating from Hungary. Prized for its plentiful leaf fat and marbled red meat, many people refer to the Mangalitsa as “the Kobe beef of pork.” Mangalitsa lard is a premium ingredient in our goat milk soap.
Mangalitsa pigs are friendly and love to play, making them an excellent breed for families, homesteaders, and small farmers. The sows often raise their piglets together and may share nursing duties. The boars are excellent fathers and very good with young piglets.
Registered Nubian Dairy Goats For Sale
Nubians have the highest butterfat of all standard dairy goat breeds, making their milk desirable for cheese, butter, ice cream, cajeda, and other fresh dairy products. Originating from middle-eastern countries, Nubians are well-suited to warm climates and able to breed year-round. Curious, friendly, and typically sweet-natured, Nubians are sometimes stubborn and can be vocal when they want something.
We chose foundation breeding stock from local breeders and are proud to continue lineages developed over a combined thirty-five years by Frog Flat Farm in Selma, NC and Morgen Star Farm in Raeford, NC. Thanks to these experienced breeders and mentors, our herd sires and milking does descend from several animals with ADGA’s Superior Genetics distinction, including Frog Flat Nightengale, Kastdemur’s LH Full Service, and J&M Hideway AB Jupiter. Continuing that tradition, we most recently added a great-grandson of Woest-Hoeve Mystery Man and grandson of SG Blissberry Rock Hard as a junior herd sire (bred by Holcomb Farm Nubians).
