CLOUCESTER OLD SPOT
Very popular with the farmers and smallholders from the Vale of Berkeley, in Gloucestershire, these spotted pigs were kept in paddocks and orchards, and sometimes referred to as 'the Orchard Pig'. Officially knows as Gloucester Old Spots, This pig has had a short history, the breed society first being formed in 1914. In recent times it has been fashionable to breed these pigs with just one or two spots and it should nowadays have lop ears.
"Man is more nearly like the pig, then the pig would like to admit." ~Anonymous
