The most striking visual feature is the kink in their snouts; the animals are also smaller than our native white breeds. Their meat is considered particularly delicious due to its high degree of marbling (fat veins running through the meat). Some even claim that Berkshires are the Kobe beef of the pig world. At the HBLFA Raumberg-Gumpenstein agricultural college, frozen semen from the Berkshire boars Randy (pictured) and Richie is available. Offspring from a mating with white pigs are expected in the coming weeks.
