The Hungarian curly-coated pig is a similarly hardy and undemanding breed, which is also growing in popularity with our breeders.

Ecological farming trends have been popular for some time in Europe in relation to demand for healthy products from happy animals, and free-range pig farming is also experiencing a renaissance.
