What is lincolnshire curly coated pig?

The Lincolnshire Curly Coated pig is a rare breed of pig that originated from Lincolnshire in England. It is known for its unique curly coat that provides natural insulation during colder months and protection from the sun during hotter months. The breed was once a popular choice for bacon production but became rare due to the rise of commercial pig breeds. Lincolnshire Curly Coated pigs are known for their calm and docile nature, making them great for small farms and homesteads. They have a slower growth rate than commercial pig breeds, which means they take longer to reach maturity but produce delicious meat with a distinctive flavor and fine marbling. They also have a keen sense of smell, making them excellent foragers and scavengers. The breed is considered critically endangered, and efforts are being made to increase their population and preserve the breed for future generations.
