Not Just Another Pretty Face
Pigipedia
This may look like a cow pig, but it's a Gloucester Old Spot. They're calm and good-natured. The females produce large litters and are good mothers; the males rarely threaten the piglets.
Both Prince Charles and Princess Anne keep this breed on their farms in Gloucester. Old Spots are endangered; there are fewer than 2000 in the world. That's primarily because they lack the pale, lean meat that is desired by factory farms, where most hogs live.
