DIFFERENT KINDS OF SWINE

DUROCS

The Duroc pig is an older breed of domestic pig. The breed was developed in the United
States and formed the basis for many mixed-breed commercial hogs. Duroc pigs are reddish-
brown and golden yellow, large-framed, medium length, and muscular, with partially-
drooping ears. They tend to be one of the least aggressive of all swine breeds raised for meat.

HAMPSHIRE

The Hampshire pig is a domestic swine breed characterized by erect ears, a black body, and a white
band around the middle, covering the front legs. The American National Swine Registry notes this as
the fourth "most-recorded breed" of pig raised as livestock in the United States, and probably the
oldest American breed of hog. It is believed to have derived from English Breed, found in northern
England and Scotland. 
YORKSHIRE

The Large White is a British breed of domestic pig. It derives from the old Yorkshire breed from the
county of Yorkshire, in northern England.

SPOT

The Gloucestershire Old Spots (also "Gloucester, Gloucester Old Spot, Gloucestershire Old Spot

or simply "Old Spots is an English breed of pig which is predominantly white with black spots. It is
named after the county of Gloucestershire. The Gloucestershire Old Spots pig is known for its
docility, intelligence, prolificity, and hardiness.

TAMWORTH

The Tamworth, also known as Sandy Back and Tam, is a breed of domestic pig originating in its

namesake Tamworth, Staffordshire, United Kingdom. It is among the oldest of pig breeds, but as with
many older breeds of livestock, it is not well suited to modern production methods and is listed as
"threatened" in the United States and "vulnerable" in the UK by the Rare Breeds Survival Trust, as
fewer than 300 registered breeding females remain.

DIFFERENT KINDS OF CATTLE

AYSHIRE

The Ayrshire is a Scottish breed of dairy cattle. It originates in, and is named for, the county
of Ayrshire in south-western Scotland. Ayrshires typically have red and white markings; the red can
range from a shade of orange to a dark brown.

BROWN SWISS

The Brown Swiss or American Brown Swiss is an American breed of dairy cattle. It derives from

the traditional triple-purpose Braunvieh ("Swiss Brown") of the Alpine region of Europe, but has
diverged substantially from it. It was selectively bred for dairy qualities only, and its draft and beef
capabilities were lost. Milk yield was measured in 2013 at 10231 kg (22600 lb) per year; the milk has
about 4% butterfat and 3.5% protein[3] and is suitable for making cheese.

GUERNSEY

The Guernsey is a breed of dairy cattle from the island of Guernsey in the Channel Islands. It is fawn or red

and white in colour, and is hardy and docile. Its milk is rich in flavour, high in fat and protein, and has a golden-
yellow tinge due to its high β-carotene content. The Guernsey is one of three Channel Island cattle breeds, the
others being the Alderney – now extinct – and the Jersey.

HOLSTEIN FRIESIAN

Holstein Friesians (often shortened to Holsteins in North America, while the term Friesians is often
used in the UK and Ireland) are a breed of dairy cattle that originated in the Dutch provinces of North
Holland and Friesland, and Schleswig-Holstein in Northern Germany. They are known as the world's
highest-producing dairy animals.

JERSEY

The Jersey is a British breed of small dairy cattle from Jersey, in the British Channel Islands. It is

one of three Channel Island cattle breeds, the others being the Alderney – now extinct – and
the Guernsey. It is highly productive – cows may give over 10 times their own weight in milk
per lactation; the milk is high in butterfat and has a characteristic yellowish tinge.

MILKING SHORTHORN

The Shorthorn breed of cattle originated in the North East of England in the late eighteenth century.
The breed was developed as dual-purpose, suitable for both dairy and beef production; however,
certain blood lines within the breed always emphasised one quality or the other. Over time, these
different lines diverged, and by the second half of the twentieth century, two separate breeds had
developed – the Beef Shorthorn, and the Milking Shorthorn.

DIFFERENT KINDS OF GOATS

ALPINE GOAT

The Alpine is a medium to large sized breed of domestic goat known for its very good
milking ability. They have no set colours or markings (although certain markings are
discriminated against). They have horns, a straight profile and erect ears.

LaMancha Goat

American Lamancha, or more commonly, simply Lamancha or LaMancha, is a formally

recognized breed of dairy goat, first bred in California by Mrs. Eula Fay Frey about 1927.[1][2] Later
she moved the herd to Glide, Oregon for further development. The Lamancha goat is a member of
the Capra genus, specifically Capra aegagrus hircus (sometimes called Capra hircus), like all domestic
goats.
KINDER GOAT

The Kinder is an American breed of domestic goat. It originated on a farm in Snohomish,

Washington, where in about 1985 an American Pygmy buck was cross-
bred with Nubian does. The resulting stock was selectively bred to create a compact but well-
muscled goat, suitable both for milk and for meat production. A herd-book was started in
1988; by 2006 about three thousand head had been registered.
PYGORA GOAT

The Pygora goat is a breed of goat that originated from crossing the registered

NPGA Pygmy goat and the white AAGBA Angora goat. Pygoras, along with the Angora
goat and Cashmere goat, are fiber goats (goats bred for their wool).[Pygora goats produce
three distinct kinds of fleece.
OBERHASLI GOAT

The Oberhasli is a modern American breed of dairy goat. It derives from the subtype of Chamois Colored

Goat from the Oberhasli district of the Bernese Oberland in central Switzerland. All purebred members of the
breed descend from five Chamois Colored Goats imported to the United States in 1936. A breeder's association
was formed in1977, and a herdbook established in the following year. Until then, goats of this type had been
known as Swiss Alpine, and interbred with Alpine goats of other types.
