The Breels brothers at Rosebrook near Port Fairy emphasize pig farming as a profitable system when pig prices and bacon values align.

Berkshire pigs are preferred over Middle Yorkshires, with Yorkshire Berkshire crosses also used. Skim milk forms the main fattening ration, enhanced by crushed wheat, and condensed milk proves highly valuable for fattening pigs especially when beef or dairy supplies fail.
