I knew that was your reasoning but i can't understand why anyone would want a pig that turns so easily and readily to fat.Honestly don't think they have much to offer,but hey each to their own it'd be BORING if we were all alike.

They don't turn to fat if you feed them properly - honest.

Our meat is quite different in fat measurement - to lets say,
some producers up your way  - even our customers have noticed 

P.S.

Do you still have a picture of a Gloucestershire Old Spot in your Downstairs Loo

All of the rare/traditional breeds have the propensity to put on excess fat but it is usually poor management and/or feeding regimes that causes it. The vast majority of over 1000 x GOS a year that we process come out at 12-16 @ P2, a very acceptable level for optimum eating quality.

No i got rid of it after a while only put it up as it was a present from my sister in law out of politeness.They only look marginally better as caricatures than in the flesh.
