Wessex Saddleback pig

Wessex Saddleback pig
"The Wessex Saddleback was first brought to Australia from England in 1931 and quickly became popular as an outdoor pig due to their ability to graze and forage. They have excellent milking capacity with the ability to rear large litters. They are black with a white band extending from one foot, across the shoulders and down to the other foot with ears that droop down across the face. They should not be confused with the modern Hampshire breed which carries the same markings and has pricked ears. The Australian population is extremely important due to the amalgamation of the Wessex and Essex breeds in England in 1967 to form the British Saddleback. The Rare Breeds Trust of Australia rates them 'critical'."
