An excerpt from a United States Department of Agriculture guide notes there is no single best hog breed. It advises farmers pick one breed, develop it, and align choice with local conditions. It distinguishes two swine types: lard and bacon, with lard type far more common in the U S while bacon is less widely raised.
The article distinguishes lard type hogs from bacon types, naming Poland China, Berkshire, Chester White, Duroc Jersey and Hampshire as main lard breeds. It notes lard hogs are set in a wide deep body with straight thick hindquarters. Bacon hogs rely on Tamworth and large Yorkshire with lean, lanky builds and emphasis on developing the side.
