Does anyone raise Heritage pigs, I am thinking on a large bacon style hog like Tamworth or Red Wattle.
Large white pigs - AKA Yorkshire (https://www.roysfarm.com/large-white-pig/) we tried other breeds and they didn't do as well as the Yorkshires. Gentle fellas, easy to handle and good meat quality. This is all we will raise on our farm, we raise 3 a year for the freezers and as many others as family wants us to raise for them up to 8 maximum.
That site says "The Poland China hog today is recognized as a big framed, long bodied, lean, muscular individual that leads the U.S. pork production in pounds of hog per sow per year."I've never heard of them but they are a very old breed. http://cpsswine.com/poland-china/
Basic rule of thumb, white pigs have more bacon where brown or black pigs have more ham.
