The pedigreed Large Black Pig is a traditional, heritage breed with origins in the 16th and 17th century old English hog and was first imported to Australia from the East Anglia, Devon and Cornwall areas of the UK in the early 1900s. They have superior milking and mothering abilities and are economical to keep, have a docile temperament and are excellent grazing pigs and are also used to pick up windfall fruit in orchards. Their black colouring enables them to withstand the hot Australian summers and avoid sunburn.
