Breed History
The exact origin of the breed is lost in its
antiquity but the original “Oxford Sandy & Black” is believed to
have developed some two centuries ago in Oxfordshire. Traditionally
an outdoor pig used to running free in woodlands, rough grazing and
pasture. It would not, however, have been unusual to see it tethered
and moved daily to fresh ground as was the custom in the early part
of 19th century. |
