Large White/Yorkshire
Large White/Yorkshire names the close relationship between the British Large White and Yorkshire-type pigs used in many pork industries. These pigs are typically large, white, erect-eared, and selected for maternal strength, growth, and lean carcass traits. In some countries Yorkshire is the common name, while Large White is used in British and international contexts, so the slash often signals a shared type rather than a separate color or miniature variety.
Management depends on whether the pig is a breeding female, terminal cross parent, show animal, or farm feeder. White skin needs shade, and fast-growing lines need ration control, solid footing, and space that protects joints and feet. When buying breeding stock, it is worth checking the exact registry or national line behind the name, because production data, teat count, temperament, and farrowing history are more useful than the label by itself.
