Hungarian Mangalica Queens in the Netherlands! The piglets will be in the US soon!

Описание: Here you can see the 8 Original Hungarian Mangalica breeding sows.
They were breed to Hungarian boar lines to which ones you can read below.
They are here in the Netherlands for 4 weeks and this video I made 2 weeks after they arrived.

The sows were breed in Hungary to boars (Hungarian boar lines). These farms were owned by Peter Toth.

The boar lines that were used on these sows were:

BLONDE:
1. Blonde sow ear tag #3434 to a blonde boar of the "Bator" line. (The sow which isn't very friendly, has a long nose and you see her in the beginning at 0:32 sec)

2. Blonde sow ear tag #3882 to a blonde boar of the "Bacska" line.(You can see her at 0:58 sec)

3. Blonde sow ear tag #3453 to a blonde boar of the "Halmaj" line (the sow that talks a lot you see her at 1:7 sec and at 2:48 sec)

4. Blonde sow ear tag # 3710 breed to blonde boar "Bator" NO offspring of her went to the US as her pigs had a slight yellow color and she had black ears. (You see her at 2:04)

RED:
1. Red sow ear tag #101 was breed to red boar line Ovar (You can see her at 4:03 sec. NOTE her litter was excluded for the 1st export but in the 2016 export her son was father of 2 reds that went to Michigan (Boar named: Yinx & sow named: Yente)

2. Red sow ear tag #48 was breed to a Szalonta boar line. No boars of this line were exported to the US. So there is no Szalonta boar line available in the US. (You can see her at 5:19 sec. She had a long nose. She also had extreme long nails when she arrived. This appears to be a genetic problem not a husbandry issue as we saw it in 2nd generation offspring in the Szalonta x Deva combinations. The sow ear tag #84 had also very long nails, you can see that at the end of the video)

3. Red sow ear tag # 84 was breed to a Deva boar line. You can see her at 5:36 sec. She also had a long nose and these long nails.

4. Red sow ear tag # 115 was breed to a Ovar boar line. She was litter mate/full sister of sow 101. Sow #115 you can see at 6:00 sec. She got the name Elsa and went to Jeffrey Korsmit. She is a beautiful sow and a amazing mother.

You can see some are still afraid of people than but now all sows are able to touch and 6 I can hug the other 2 will follow ;-)
The blonde biter learned that she needs not to be aggressive towards me. With a lot of love and time/patients (and her beloved shower that she only gets when she acts nice haha) she is almost not aggressive any more. She will be a sweet sow in some weeks like all the others! I tis very important that these pregnant sows are sweet and like humans otherwise I could not go very close to the piglets. And that's what I love...;-)

The sows will give birth in 2 weeks than the 60 day quarantine will start and after that the best breeding sows/boars will be shipped to New York. There they will be in a 30 day quarantine again before they can be delivered at Wilhelm Kohl's Farm in Michigan US. Some red ones will go to CA to a other well known Mangalitsa Breeder.

It is very important to bring new bloodlines into the herd's in the States, to have a healthy and pure Mangalica Breeding-stock for the future! The Hungarian sows here are form Peter Toth, the President of the Hungarian Mangalica organization, Wilhelm Kohl and his partner Marc.

The Hungarian sows are at the moment at Barbara Meyer zu Altenschildesche Farm, Mangalitza Breed, located on Estate Leuvenum in the Netherlands. This is where the video was taken..
