The Hampshire is arguably the oldest breed of domestic American pig and is currently the fourth “most recorded breed” of pig in the United States. Developed from English breed pigs that were imported in the mid-1800s, Hampshire pigs are characterized by their black bodies with a whitish band around the middle and front legs as well as their erect ears. In terms of breeding, this breed is known for its excellent mothering qualities and their longevity in the sow.

When raised for meat, they are considered well-muscled with a good carcass quality and fast growth rate. However, they do grow slower than many cross-breeds. Hampshire pigs have a docile temperament as well.

We always strongly encourage you to thoroughly check out each animal breeder you are interested in purchasing from before you make your final decision. With over 25,000 different breeders listed on this website, it is impossible for us to be able to vouch for every one! And while we do our best to ensure only the top farmers are listed here, it's always best to double check yourself.
