 About Gloucestershire Old Spot Pigs
Gloucestershire Old Spots Pigs, or
GOS hogs, are from Gloucestershire County, English. They are known for their
docility, intelligence, and prolificacy. Boars reach a mature weight of 600 lbs
(272 kg) and sows 500 lbs (227 kg).
They
are predominantly white with black spots and there must be at least one spot on
the body to be accepted in the registry. Their maternal skills enable them to
raise large litters of piglets on pasture. Their disposition and self?sufficiency
make them attractive for farmers raising pasture pigs and those who want to add
pigs to diversified operations.
