Sheep pigs or wooly pigs

I have a special affinity with pigs, and saw this picture on my facebook wall today, I had to share it on this blog.
The sheep-pig used to be a common sight in Lincolnshire and was shorn once a year to make sweaters, but it became extinct in Britain in 1972.
In the early 1900s, many Lincolnshire curly coats were sold to Austria and Hungary where they were crossed with the Mangalitza, creating the Lincolista.
