THE BREEDS OF SWINE 293 



production. After the Yorkshire, this is the largest of the- 

 breeds. Its form is even more extremely rangy, long 

 and narrow than the Yorkshire, with a very light neck, 

 jowl and hindquarters (Fig. 145). The head is long and 

 tapering, the longest of any breed, the snout straight, 

 there being little or no dish in the face, the ears very 

 large, but well pointed and thin. Color is cherry red, with 

 no spots, but it is inclined to darken rather than grow 

 lighter with age. This breed is especially active and strong 

 on its legs. 



Extremes of type, too long legs, light hindquarters, 

 especially, and too much weight in front, due to excessive 

 length of head, prominent shoulders and a coarse coat are 

 the exceptions taken to this breed.
