| Description | Robust hogs quickly adapted to life in the Colonies after being introduced in Jamestown in 1607 and became a mainstay in the 18th century diet. They were prolific breeders, hardy, self-sufficient, and unafraid of predators. These early ancestors were hairy, had thick coats and long snouts, and were fattier, serving a need in that era, and would eat almost anything. |
