I really do think that Tamworths have got a bad name for themselves. We had tamworths as our first pigs. we have since had both middle whites and GOSs. Our Tamworths where so friendly would follow us around like dogs, loved a good scratch off us. Some say that sticky up ears mean they can find escape routes. I found it meant they could see us from across the field and come running to meet us
Our Middle whites where plain evil, its unfair to say its the breed as our two came from a dodgy place and had not been fed. They had attitude and you could not go into the field without getting them shut into the stable before hand or you would be very lucky if you did not get bitten.
Our GOSs where great friendly and the meat tasted great but as a breed they really didn't do it for me. I couldn't really fault them but I guess I kept comparing them to the tamworths and they are totally different
