Berkshire line comes from a purebred. The cross enhances the fat & marbling, and makes the retail cuts a nicer size.
Berkshires are know for rich marbled meat & the Ossabow cross adds further flavour & healthy fat (higher in Omega 3). Rich deep red meat with a good balance of marbling. They can be slaughtered small, in the 150 lb. range, making them a manageable size for home slaughter. Their live weight tops out around 300 lbs.
Heritage pigs do well on homesteads with simple structures and straw. They are good rooters who will clear brush right down to the roots. We have been raising our animals on al large pasture l in a closed herd farrow to finish operation, to select for traits and maintain herd health. Animals have been dewormed in March.
PM for details, may consider volume price for litter.
Willing to consider meet up on Vancouver Island.
