https://www.foxnews.com/food-drink/...-american-pig-- Very nice!!!! There are a number of old hog breeds still around. A growing intereste in them keeps the prices rather high for breeding stock. During the time I was interested, I did a lit of reading and talked to the fellow in the link below. He was honest, hogs get rather big and can be dangerous. Not to be thought of as a pet.

Having raised a couple hogs one summer, I decided hogs were not for me.

Here is is farm blog. Not a secured site, but a wonderful daily post about the ins and outs of raising a new breed of hog that he has developed to live pasture raised. How he works and selects for those that sill not root into the pasture. The planting of fruits trees for drops as fall food. A plot of pumpkin that is demolished in a couple days and the years of building their own facility to handle only their own hogs...... his sows know him and they give birth in a huge igloo like structure where the sow can tend her babies in peace with their own little paddock.
