"Sheep and pigs" became extinct in the last century! It is understood that as early as the early 20th century, there lived an animal called "Lincolnshire Curly Pig" on the land of Austria-Hungary at that time. In appearance, it is more like a pig than a sheep. "Lincolnshire Curly Pig" was once called "Sheep Pig". At that time, the price was $65,438+0,000, which was five times that of ordinary pigs. "Lincolnshire Curly Pig" became a national treasure of Hungary, and won the gold medal in Budapest Exhibition in 1925.
But unfortunately, due to various reasons, "sheep pig" became extinct in the 1970s. Since then, its close relative, Man Gryka Pig, has become more precious.
After a long wait, "Piglet Paradise" revealed to the outside world that they had successfully bred a "sheep pig" and the staff gave it a special name-"Boris".
York hopes that this four-legged Boris Johnson symbolizes the rebirth of Lincolnshire Curly Pig, which is often called Sheep Pig. The British curly pig breed was extinct 37 years ago. In the process of seeking to reintroduce this breed, York found that in the early 20th century, many British farmers exported curly pigs to Hungary, whose fur helped them survive in the cold winter in Hungary. In Hungary, people crossed a curly pig with a similar breed of Man Gryka pig to produce a "Linklista" pig. York found that this subspecies flourished in Austria. He drove a trailer across Europe, traveling 2400 miles, and transported 17 Linculista pigs to his pig paradise farm near Schlench, Hiragi, Wales, to ensure that they were fed and supplied with water on time. York said: "This is a huge task. We can't just keep one or two pigs. We must drive hundreds of miles from farm to farm and try to round up enough pigs unrelated to this bloodline in order to build a good herd of pigs. "
