Berkshire Pigs

Berkshire Pigs: This is a name that people and restaurants have come to know, when they expect a high quality pork for flavor and color. This breed produces pork that has a much darker color and richer flavor than what you are able to buy in the store. The pork you find in your local store usually comes from some big factory farm (feed lot) where their main goal is to produce pigs for market as fast as possible, with little regard as to the actual quality of the meat. This includes giving them hormones or chemically added feed to be able to accomplish their goal. The Berkshire does grow a little slower than hybrids so they are not normally used for factory farms. However, some of the big factory farms do use a Berkshire to add some color and flavor back to their herds when they start producing poor meat.
