Pig Fact 7

OLD YORKSHIRE

An original English pig of the Large variety, closely related to pigs from Lancashire and Linconlnshire - colouring was variable, but basically white - it was in fact the forerunner of the Large White. In 1858, the winning boar at Chester weighed in at 1,148 lbs. The Old Yorkshire was used almost exclusively for bacon.
