Red Wattles are a critically endangered breed that adapt to a wide range of climates. Their active foraging make them a good choice in outdoor or pasture-based swine production. Their gentle nature recommends them to the small-scale, independent producer. The origin and history of the Red Wattle breed is obscure and many hypotheses have been put forward. What is certain is that the breed, as it is known today, was derived from the large, red, wattled hogs found in a wooded area of eastern Texas.
