The OSB is in the minority group so is the least endangered of our pigs so it hasnt done that bad without the rocognition of the RBST.

The OSB is in the minority group so is the least endangered of our pigs so it hasnt done that bad without the rocognition of the RBST.

things soon change and the fact that the breed has survived so long without any RBST recognition is down to the dedicated breeders that have brought the breed back to this level.

as i said things soon turn around with RBST status when i started fattening lops they were on the  endangered list, now i know they are listed on their site as vunerable they are in fact back on the endangered and if numbers fall this year will be on the critical list for 2013 this information was passed onto the lop society by the RBST all this turn about in 4 years.

lets hope all these vunerable breeds survive for many years to come.

Fantastic news, we're really pleased. The OSB is a lovely pig which has deservedly become very popular.

Great News, i heard about it last week. It can only be good for the breed, not sure why it took so long...
 We've a slowly growing heard, just had 3 back from the butchers, very good, easily shifted the pork, not too fat, tasty and very moist, killed out at 6 months 58 and 62 kg d/w cost 68£ pig to do this.. so ecconomic too.
