Where do the different breed names of pigs come from?

0

Most of our pig breeds were originated in England, so they were named after a particular region of the country, such as Yorkshire, Bershire and Hampshire. Q: Is it normal to have a litter of piglets all with different hair color (pink, black, and spotted) while coming from a same mother? A: Yes, it is normal to have multi-colored pigs from the same mother. Most sows (mother pigs) are crossbreds so they do not have a true breed color. Therefore, their pigs may be red, black, white, spotted, belted or any combination of these color patterns. Q: About how much pork is produced in a day? A: Roughly 60 million pounds of retail pork is produced every day. Q: About how many pigs are there in the world? 4th grade A: At any time, there are probably about 850 million pigs in the world. Q: Is the hair on pigs all the same color, or do they have different color hair like humans? Mrs. Freyenhagen’s 2nd grade class A: Pigs have different color hair, but it is mostly related to the breed of the pig.
