Breeds differ in size, coloring, temperament, and suitability for meat production or other purposes.
Common breeds include Yorkshire, Duroc, Hampshire, and Berkshire, each prized for different qualities: Heritage pig breeds like the Gloucestershire Old Spots are making a comeback among small farmers.
