Crosses are usually the most popular at our fair, and they usually do the best. Blue butts dominate, as do hamp crosses. If I had to pick a specific breed, I'd say Yorkshire. They're can do great showing, and breeding.

i like durocs personally ....but i dont think there is a bad breed out there!
just depends on how much time you spend working with the hog!

it really doesn't matter. yeah you may get some judges who like one breed over another, but it really shouldn't be that way. [color=red:57d7837773]quality is quality period.[/color:57d7837773] and if a judge can't look past different breeds or their "breed" they shouldn't be judging.

Well, I don't know about everybody else, but I am going to take the best pig I can get no matter what the breed. Say if there is a Hamp that you really like, but then an amazing York catches your eye, you should probably go for the York if it is a nicer pig.

I think hamps and yorks are the best.
