DUROC

Picture of Duroc

The Duroc is an eastern American breed of pig. They have considerable variation in colour. An acceptable colour may range from a very light golden, almost yellow colour, to a very dark red that approaches mahogany. The red is a very practical colour that suits pork producers, and since it is a solid colour there is not concern about fancy points of proper markings.
Durocs have a medium length and slight dish of the face. The ears should be drooping and should not be held erect.
