Also known as Large white Yorkshire and as Yorkshires (collectively with Small and Middle White breeds).
The Large White is one of the most widely used and influential pig breeds in the world and often used in modern times for crossing with Landrace and Duroc breeds to meet modern demands. Currently the Large Whites are the most numerous of all British pig breeds.
They have a slightly dished face with a slightly upturned snout. The skin is white without coloured markings or wrinkles. The back is long and level and broad from neck to rump. The underline is full and as straight as possible..
