Tamworth pigs

The Tamworth pig is easy to spot because of its beautiful red-gold hair! They have the longest snout of any pig breed today, which is why people call them “a plough on four legs”! Their ears stand up, making them look extra alert.

Tamworth pigs are tough and can live in many different places, from rough grasslands to meadows. The female pigs, called sows, are great mothers! They are very gentle, produce lots of milk, and protect their babies.
