Harriet

Harriet comes from on a small Utah farm where farmers were raising her along with several other blonde-mangalitsa pigs. Some of them were for show, others breeders, and some were sold as delicacy meat.

We took notice of her situation on March 27, 2022 through a FB post from the farmer who was looking to rehome or slaughter the pigs as they were no longer able to care for them and needed them gone that day. When we arrived Harriet immediately caught our attention. She was entrenched in a muddy pool of feces, belly deep, struggling to balance herself on a water bowl to access a clear space.

Since rescuing Harriet we’ve really gotten to see her personality shine. She’s the first piggy to find you to lay next to for belly rubs, and the last one to leave you’re side. She enjoys exploring the pasture, feeding time, and bathing in the wallow!

UPDATE: Harriet was pregnant! Two months after rescuing her, on June 2, we found her huddled at the furthest point of the pasture with one of her piglets, freshly born! She gave birth to 4 total piglets who are looking happy and healthy.
