I love the looks of mangalitza pigs. Lincolnshire used to have a similar curley coated breed which were exported and crossed with other breeds, Sadly the wooley coated Lincolnshire pig as a pure breed is now extinct I do believe but they are trying to get back to them or as close as possible by reintroducing wooley coated pigs from the countries that had them from the UK  :)

I have had experience with OSB, and we keep Mangalitza's, we have 2 litters of mangalitza's 3 boars off to slaughter today. they are a nice looking piggy, and i find them quite a docile pig, as are the OSB so could possibly be a good cross.
