Pigs have played a significant role in Britain’s agricultural heritage for centuries, contributing to traditional farming practices and rural economies. Many native British pig breeds, such as the Tamworth and the Large Black, are now considered rare or endangered due to changes in modern farming methods and a shift towards more commercially viable breeds. Preserving these traditional breeds is crucial not only for maintaining biodiversity but also for keeping history alive. These pigs represent a living connection to Britain’s rural past, and protecting them ensures that future generations can continue to experience and learn from traditional British farming and animal husbandry practices.
