Breeding - Good breeding provides Great Pork! |

Whilst about 40% of UK pigs are born on free range farms, only around 1 - 2% are then reared and grown in free range conditions. All anna’s happy trotters pigs fall into this elite 1 - 2%, being free range all their lives. All our pigs are bred and born outside and reared to 4 weeks of age when they are then weaned. Our pigs are a mixture of new and old breeds providing, we believe, an ideal mix to ensure a great tasting product. |

The Landrace x Duroc sows produce pigs which have low levels of backfat but the meat is marbled thus enhancing the flavour and succulence during cooking, (another reason why our pork tastes so good!). The hunky ‘Maximus’ boar is a very muscular breed, which gives lean meat and lovely big chops. The Duroc is used in outdoor pigs, because the outdoor lifestyle suits their hardy skin, by growing extra hair to keep warm in Winter and protect them from sunburn during the summer. The hardier skin also provides some of the finest "crackling" money can buy!
