Meet Our Pigs
There are many different pig breeds, each having their own patterns, sizes and features unique to them. Pigs have been utilised over many years, with the first being in China around 8,000 years ago. Those pigs were then introduced to Europe during the 18th and early 19th century and have been considered to be direct ancestors to the pigs we have today .
