Karen, Berkshires and Berks/Tamworth crosses work well for us as do Saddlebacks. Mangalitsas are ideal. I know of a Salumier who takes Mangalitsas up to hippo size, finishing them on double cream and acorns and produces exceptional tasting stuff. Sadly my Euromillions numbers did not come up last night so such experimentation is beyond me at the moment.

Just going on from what Lillian has started with the cost to rear pork, I thought I'd give you an idea of what we've sold our first meat for.

Chops - £7.80/Kg
Joints - £7.25/Kg
Sausages - £3.70 / pack of six
back Bacon -£15/Kg / £4.50 - £5.50 per pack
streaky bacon - £3.00 / pack
Ham - £22.00/Kg

We sold all of our excess within three days and working on those prices, if we had sold of our meat, the pigs would have made about £900.  What does everyone else sell for?

£175 per half pig (not butchered, 6 month old GOS), we're in the Home Counties.
