We have always been drawn to the Durco... It is known for quick growth and maturity. The sweet meat and marbling are a plus. The last few years we have had to go with a durco cross. It is getting harder and harder to find someone selling piglets in our area.
The Hampshire we had was also a nice pig ...
Have you checked your area to see what the local farmers raise? (I fear we will be going out of our local area this spring ...)
