I would like to get more info on hogs that have wooly undercoats. Maybe the exact breed or a very close relative to it. Please help. Any thing you know would be very useful to me.

Don't hold me to this, but, I believe a wooly undercoat can be traced back to the european bloodlines. I think the true Russian boar has the long bristled hair with the wooly undercoat.

that is a throw back to the russian bloodlines. i have some of them here on may place.

I really think I went out with her before I got saved... (OUCH)...Sounds like her anyway.[8D][8D]

That's European (Russian) blood. There are at least four different bloodlines in the U.S. That is one of the first traits to breed out when they cross with domestic hogs. A pureEuropean will have as much wool as a sheep during the winter. They're raised by a few for those who want to hunt the real historical boars. They make an impressive trophy.

that sow that i just stuck had the lil wooley hairs, i was stoked to see them ,lol.....all the hogs i have taken in the past hasn't had it......now all i need is a hog with wattles and the mulefooted and my life will be complete, lol....
