Austin, get real, hahahahahahahaha They are not a product made in a machine(kinda)

You can get nice wonderful hogs at shows for nearly nothing, $25 or so. But if you want high end animals, you must either do the work, or pay the price. Its pretty simple.

for instance, I am doing field work with hogs, I see lots of hogs. I can and did buy an albino for $100. I could search and spend millions of dollars and never find an albino hog. In that sense, if somebody did not put in the work, get lucky, you or I could not buy an albino hog at any price.

Same for many of the morphs.

Remember, really really pretty hogs can be purchased inexspensively, Ones that would take years of hunting to fine. Also remember, all these animals are exactly the same, except for skin color.

As many hogs as I have seen in the field, if I were to put a cost, gas, food, etc, on them, it would be far cheaper to go by one.

Oh yea, think about this, most of these fine folks, make lots of hets for very exspensive morphs. What happens to those possible hets, hahahahahahahahahahaha those cheap ones can be carrying a bonus in their genes. Best wishes
