MEISHAN
Originating from China, Meishans are considered to be a very gentle breed, that are disease resistant and very easy to raise. Meishans are slow growing, very fat pigs that are known for their poor eyesight, drooping ears, wrinkled face and skin. They consume large amounts of roughage by foraging, utilizing their excellent sense of smell to make up for their poor eyesight. Meishan pork is very tender, highly-marbled and sweet tasting.
