We’re all here for the big red wattled pigs but let’s take a step back to talk about their history and their heritage, and the importance of documenting who and what they are.
Everyone gets caught up in the day to day. You don’t eat the papers. Keeping up with all the paperwork is a pain in the backside and your customers don’t care anyway. The list is endless – and these are all valid points.
The thing most people don’t stop to think about, as we go about our daily grind with our pigs, is the thin line of their past and the importance of making sure they are available for future generations. To continue producing feeders, you must maintain the quality of your breeders.
Red Wattles were almost lost and were only recovered with hard work and dedication. Their numbers are still very low but the good news is, as someone who loves them, there are simple things you can do to help secure feeders for future generations of ‘eaters’.
Documentation, registration, of your breeding stock not only gives confidence to your buyers about your product in this crazy world, but it’s the first step toward ensuring the continued success of Red Wattles in providing feeders to our families and clients families in the years to come.
Good reminder. Paperwork is a pain although once it’s done it does add value to your breeding stock. Thanks for sharing and encouraging!
