Welcome to our fourth Swine Chat! This week we're excited to welcome Cathy R. Payne and Seth Wright to chat about American Guinea Hogs!

Cathy R. Payne first learned about The Livestock Conservancy in 2008. When she retired from teaching in 2010 and started a sustainable farm, she decided to focus on heritage breeds. She became a member and raised Khaki Campbell ducks, Silver Fox rabbits, American rabbits, Gulf Coast sheep, and American Guinea Hogs. She advocates for heritage breeds year-round and works part-time as Program Research Associate for The Livestock Conservancy. Cathy sold her farm in 2018 and is the award-winning author of "Saving the Guinea Hogs: The Recovery of an American Homestead Breed" with a foreword by D. Phillip Sponenberg, DVM, PhD. She is always ready to talk about heritage breeds, but most of all about American Guinea Hogs and the long history they have had in the South.
