I raise GOS pigs. I also have a few berkshire large black girls and a mulefoot large black girl that I will cross to one of my GOS boars. I love the personality and foraging ability of my GOSs

I bought two Yorkshire/Berkshire cross piglets. The purebreed heritage were beyond my budget. These two girls were $75.00 each, cheap for this area. Looking forward to fresh bacon and ham

I assume you are going to breed the girls? Just curious. If so, do you know what you are crossing with.



X2 on not being able to eat the Red Wattles. It's sad that we literally can't afford to eat our own pigs. They are too valuable for sale to put in the freezer. L.

Breeding one piglet back to a boar from the breeder I bought them from. At this time he has a Yorkshire/Berkshire cross and a York/Berk/Duroc boar, but says he may be rotating those guys out, so not sure. The other piglet we will butcher.
