Characteristics and Genetics

Among domestic pigs, the black big pig is regarded as the largest.

Although it is a native of Devon, Essex, and Cornwall in particular, it is originally from the United Kingdom.

The term “Large Black Pig” really refers to a hybrid of two distinct pig breeds that originated in the English counties of Essex, Kent, and Suffolk in the east and Devon and Cornwall in the south-west.

They have outstanding foraging skills, nice manners, a calm disposition, and are extremely hardy.
