Anybody raise them? Great hog, extra long as it has an extra rib. For a long time the Danes had a law prohibiting the exportation to the Americas of any purebred Landrace stock to protect their export pork markets here.

In the other pig thread I incorrectly remembered the breed as" Lancaster". I'm wearing my old age poorly I guess.

Can remember my uncle having some back in the 70's but don't think they were real popular at least in this area.

From what I remember, they're a "leaner" pig, the longer loin is used a lot in canadian type bacon....

We used to cross landrace boars on hamp sows. Got ‘blue butts’ or at least that’s what we called them. Great hogs.

yorkshire and hampshire crosses what we called blue butts

always heard of landraces as bacon hogs cause they are longer - never messed with them
we are raising hereford berkshire crosses now. raised durocs, yorkshires, hamps, berks, spots and crosses

The literature says they're great moms....produce more milk than an average breed.

white so they clean up better.

Not a fan, easily stress, somewhat crazy, not real adaptable to outside finishing environments and just to delicate compared to hamp,duroc and york breeds. I always felt the meat did not have as good of flavor. Ears are too big and they can't see in front of them. Probably got more reasons but after several thousand of them I just don't like them. mikec

Raise 4 pigs every year..
This the first year I had landraces and they grew very well. Taste great.. I'd not hesitate to get them again..
