The Mangalitsa Blog - woolypigs.com. Monday, March 12, 2012. Michigan and Feral Pigs. As explained here, the state of Michigan is out to eliminate feral pigs. Unfortunately, Mangalitsa pigs (and hybrids) have traits that make them look feral. E.g. long snouts and striped young. Mark Baker, a farmer with some Mangalitsa purebreds (and crosses) is soliciting funds for his legal case against the state. Posted by Heath Putnam. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Wooly Pigs: Austrian Seam Butchery
http://woolypigs.blogspot.com/2009/02/austrian-seam-butchery.html
The Mangalitsa Blog - woolypigs.com. Tuesday, February 10, 2009. Christoph Wiesner recently visited the USA. Among other things, he taught people how he breaks down pigs. In the USA, there's a standard set of cuts. In Austria, there's a standard set of cuts too, but it differs from the USA's cuts, in that the butcher mostly cuts through connective tissue, not muscles. Take, for instance, the shoulder butt. One fancy tool he uses is a "Rippenschlinge". This tool allows him to bone out the ribs, leavin...

http://woolypigs.blogspot.com/2012/01/quick-hams.html
The Mangalitsa Blog - woolypigs.com. Tuesday, January 3, 2012. Mangalitsa ham on foodista.com. These guys in London did their hams the fast way. If you follow this link. There's more info.
