Berkshire Pig

The breed originated in the Thames Valley, possibly around Wantage, circa 1790.It began as a large tawny red pig, spotted with black.The ears were inclined to be pendulous, the body long and thick, with short legs and plenty of bone.By the early 1800s, the breed had become lighter in the head and ears, shorter and more compact with less bone.Lord Barrington was thought to be largely responsible for the improvement, when introducing Chinese or East Asian blood to the breed.
