Woolly-coated grazing pig is a breed of wooly-coated domestic pig, originating from the Danube region. They are rather small, dark and have characteristic long hairs on their backs. The wool and small size make these pigs very well adapted for grazing. They were widespread in Switzerland in the mid 19th century because of their excellent bacon. The wool was used as a raw material by saddlers. This breed is practically extinct today.
