Q.Pigs & Poultry
What is the best pig breed for small farm pork?
A.
Berkshire and Tamworth are top heritage breeds for small-farm pork production — better marbling and flavor than commercial breeds, well-suited to outdoor pasture systems. Yorkshire and Hampshire are high-production commercial breeds. For homestead pork, heritage breeds like Berkshire, Gloucestershire Old Spots, or Mulefoot produce premium meat.
