Best Breed Of Hogs

Categories: Feeding Farm Animals

What is the best breed of hogs for pen feeding, shutting them up in

small pens from the time they are little pigs and feeding them mostly on

skim milk and slops?



There is no best breed. It is a matter of personal preference. Any of

the breeds are all right to pen up and feed. The principal thing is to

see that the hogs are all pure bred and have not been crossed too often

to cause deterioration. Choose one breed of hogs and keep them as pure

as possible and you will have no trouble in raising them. All the breeds

are good; but some are fancied more than others. Dark-colored hogs are

preferred in California because less liable to sunburn.
