 About Gloucestershire Old Spot Pigs
Gloucestershire Old Spots Pigs, or GOS hogs, are
from Gloucestershire County, England. 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
pastures. Their disposition and self-sufficiency make them attractive for
farmers raising pasture pigs and those who want to add pigs to diversified
operations.
