Picked up some little pigs to raise. Got a black and white sow and boar that look identical and are mule footed. Going to cross the boar to a sow and see what they throw and put a bluebutt boar over the sow and see what happens. hope to get some good looking mule footed pigs to catch.  Wink I have no idea how the genetics works with mule footed pigs or coloring my guess it is a total crap shoot when dealing with wild pigs Lol. Will maybe get some data with this that will tell me if the mule footed pigs are from a recessive or dominant gene. Is the mule foot even caused by a gene??

my guess is that the mule foot is rececessive, othwise there would be more of them in the woods...if that is the case then it will be best if you breed mule footed to mule footed...

I had 5 I kept in a pen all Mule footed. 2 boars and 3 sows. Every litter I ever had always had all mule footed but one in every litter. They were all black so the color did not play into it.

I turned 100 or so loose over 10 years in the same spot, And have never caught one mulefooted one again in the wild.

They are interesting to mess with.
