So if they say they're registered with them, they should be able to provide certification that even their meat pigs are purebred. When a litter is born, is is registered with MBOAR and then the...

    Hello! I raise Mangalitsa pigs in NE Washington state. Currently we have 37, but we will be having 16 more litters this year if we are lucky! I am brand new to cold smoking. My only hot smoking experience is with a Traeger. Let's be real, it really does the work for you! I'm looking forward...
