Berkshire pig

Abel is one our Berkshire boar. Make sure you come and see him when you visit the farm.

The Berkshire is a hardworking and calm pig. The females are heavy milkers and will lose very little weight whilst rearing their piglets.

A long time ago, Berkshire pigs were a reddish-brown with black spots. They had thick bodies and short legs. Over time, farmers improved the breed, and now Berkshire pigs are mostly black, with smaller heads and shorter bodies.
