Sterling Hunter Mangalitsa

Sterling Hunter Mangalitsa Purebred Mangalitsa Breeder located in Bath MI. Rare European imported genetics. Breeding and feeder hogs available. We have piglets for sale year round.

The Mangalitsa is a Hungarian breed of domestic pig that was created by crossing a Hungarian pig with a wild European boar. These pigs are known for their coarse "sheep like" coat and their meat that has been referred to as the "Kobe Beef" of the pig industry. At our farm we breed both Blonde and Red Mangalitsa. We work closely with Barbara Meyer Zu Altenschildesche of the Netherlands and Jeffrey Korsmit of New Zealand to import new breeding lines from overseas.

Our Story

In 2015, Sterling Hunter Mangalitsa founder, Jim Reichenbach, reconnected with a long lost acquaintance who sparked his interest in the Mangalitsa breed. Jumping in head first, Jim purchased a Blonde breeding pair and a barrow to feed out for his family. Within a year numbers grew quickly with the addition of three blonde gilts and an imported Red breeding pair from the Netherlands. Today, Sterling Hunter runs over ten pure Mangalitsa breeding sows specializing in the Blonde and Red variants.

All of our hogs are pasture raised with plenty of room to roam and graze. We allow our sows to farrow out in pasture or in large indoor pens depending on the time of year. We do not use farrowing crates, notch ears, dock tails, or snip teeth.

Sterling Hunter Mangalitsa sells Pure Blonde, Pure Red, and Blonde Red cross breeding stock as well as feeders. All of our breeding stock we sell comes with a certificate of lineage from the farm detailing their ancestry, so when there is a Mangalitsa registry in the United States, you will have no problem getting your animal registered! We also offer DNA parentage testing through GeneSeek to prove parentage tracing back to the original imports. In addition to our purebred program, we also have a few registered Duroc sows that we cross with the Mangalitsa to produce a slightly leaner more affordable meat.

Apart from the feeders and breeders we also sell butcher ready hogs by the half and whole as well as individual cuts. Our fat hogs are finished no earlier than 15 months of age and are fed a barley based diet with zero corn or soy.
