[Jack M]

Hey everyone. Killed a young sow yesterday and when I retrieved her I noticed these 2 flaps of skin under her chin. Does anyone know what these are our have seen these before?
Thanks
Jack

NO! Not growths. You have one very cool hog. I have yet to see a feral one of these myself. You have a hog with wattles. These occur in a limited variety of breeds, the most common, I think is the red wattle hog. I realize yours isn't red, but check the link for a nifty example...

I was afraid you were going to say that. Lol. Already butcher. And yes the hog was indeed red throughout the body. Should I have had him mounted? Still have his cape!

Wow... never heard of such a critter.

Speaking of odd hogs... we haven't seen any of Brian's famous-footed hooves in a while. M'be Brian slayed 'em all.

Now that is cool! Never heard of them. Thanks Brian for the link to more information. I’ll be looking at every red hog I see now! LOL

That would have made an interesting mount, no doubt.
