About the Endangered Hog Foundation
- Endangered Hog Foundation
- The EHF mission is to secure & distribute funds to assist breeders in DNA research, establish breeding protocols, maintain funds for herd rescue, public education, sponsorship of breeding animals & the importation/exportation of pigs to reinvigorate existing herds in the US, UK & Australia. It was founded by the owners of Maveric Heritage Ranch Co. Maveric has been working with endangered breeds for 10 years & has come to realize that the Ranch’s resources would best be utilized in promoting the “Eat it to Save it”® plan & beginning farmer internships. Maveric will continue to raise endangered pigs & train new farmers, as well as market pork from endangered pig breeds, including pigs raised at other farms. The Pig Breeds we work to save: Mulefoot, Guinea, Wessex Saddleback, Gloucestershire Old Spot, Large Black, Red Wattle, Ossabaw Island, Tamworth, & Hereford Hogs. The immediate needs of the Foundation include the funds to import 10 Wessex Saddleback hogs from Australia to resuscitate the dwindling herd in the US (10 pigs remain). Additionally, DNA research is desperately needed create breed profiles & work with existing herds to maximize genetic resources.
