Idaho Pasture Pigs (also known
as IPPs) were developed from Duroc, Old Berkshire, and Kunekune pigs. They are
grazing pigs and are very gentle, have great personalities, are easy to work
with, and are smaller than traditional pig, like the Large White, while still
reaching a butcher weight of about 200 - 250 pounds in 9 - 10 months eating
primarily grass.
They are a well-proportioned
pig with a medium width in the leg set, a wide back, noticeable shoulders,
developed hams, and a overall, nicely proportioned head with a short - medium
upturned snout.Sows should mature at
250 - 300 pounds and the boars should mature at 300 - 400 pounds.
