Welsh

Welsh swine are a droop or lop-eared white breed with slightly dished faces. They have shorter legs than
most other popular breeds, but have very long bodies, especially considering the length of leg. They are  
also quite muscular and lean.                                                                                                            

The breed attracted very little attention for years before it was realized the breed had some valuable characteristics. Among these were their ability to thrive under farm conditions, good sized litters, fine mothering instincts and desirable carcass characteristics.

Commercial producers have used the Welsh as a white breed in crossing programs because it is not closely related to the better known Large White and British Landrace breeds.
