The Best Pig?

I posted a New York Times article a week or so ago about Carl Edgar Blake and his quest to make the perfect pig.  He matched a Russian wild boar with a Chinese pig that he had read about on the interwebs - in 1821 King Wilhelm from Germany bred these two pigs and started winning contests with what was called a Swabian Hall pig.  Now Carl is winning awards all over the country with his Iowan Swabian Hall pig.  

Stephen Colbert holds an Iowan Swabian Hall piglet while eating prosciutto.  Hysterical.
