Welsh
A white pig with lop ears, indigenous to Wales.
The breed was very popular after WW2 when it was used to produce breeding stock for commercial pig production.
They are hardy and can be kept both indoors and out; they have a fast liveweight gain at a low feed conversion ratio and an excellent killing out percentage.
