CURRENTLY SOLD OUT OF GOS PIGS! (July 2024)
Gloucestershire Old Spot pigs. GOSA registered. Parents all have superb temperaments. $350 each for GOSA registered breeding stock at weaning time. Definitely breeding quality animals.
Gloucestershire Old Spot pigs....a heritage breed of pig that is endangered. Some of their well known characteristics include:
Docile – making it a suitable choice for first time pig keepers and an important consideration for family operations or older farmers.
Hardy – the breed is very adaptable to extremes of temperatures and weather patterns.
Good dams – the GOS is a milky breed and a good dam. In many cases, sows will continue breeding at a greater age than many other breeds and hybrids.
Quality Pork & Bacon – there is a huge demand for the high quality meat produced by GOS pigs. Their pork is a marbled pork, like beef is marbled. Makes it juicy and not tough.
They make an ideal crossing breed. Put to a white breed, the offspring will be white with the advantage of hybrid vigor. (Although we feel keeping them pure is critical for the survival of the breed.)
