About Choctaw pigs
The Choctaw hog descends from Spanish pigs landed in the Americas from the 1500s, which Native peoples and colonists across the Southeast kept for the next three hundred years. It carries the Choctaw name from the tribe it has been associated with for centuries.
The Oklahoma population exists because of forced removal. Choctaw families moved livestock to the Oklahoma Territory in the early 1800s, and in the 1830s the United States government forced the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek and Seminole out of Mississippi and Alabama to Oklahoma. Their hogs went with them. Today's Choctaw hogs descend from those herds and have changed little in 150 years.
They are small, around 120 pounds, usually black but found in solid and spotted colors. A true Choctaw has no belt and no striped piglets. Ears sit erect to slightly drooping, many animals carry fleshy wattles on the neck, and the toes are fused into a single mule-like hoof. The wattles and the hoof both point back to Spanish ancestry.
Do not confuse them with Mulefoot hogs, which share the hoof but diverged into a separate breed, or with the Pineywoods Rooter and other mixed feral populations.
