Tamworth


The Tamworth is considered the best bacon hog in the United States and boasts one of the leanest carcasses of all the pork breeds. The ham is muscular and firm although it lacks the size and bulk found in most other breeds. The first Tamworths were brought to the United States in 1882 by Thomas Bennett of Rossville, Illinois. There remain fewer than 1,000 registrations of Tamworths in the United States
