Lincoln Red Pigs

A Rare Breed of New Zealand Origin

      In the early 1940s, a Mr P G Stevens at Lincoln College developed this breed by crossing the Large White and the Tamworth pigs. It was popular for a time in Canterbury, but disappeared when the nucleus breeding herd died.

We would appreciate more information, including photos, of this breed.
