DO YOU KNOW?
Landrace pigs commonly called Wagon by some Nigerians have 16 or 17 pairs of ribs and thus produce more cuts of meat? While the typical pig has 14 pairs of ribs.

Landrace pigs tend to be quite docile, and they grow rapidly. One of their most desirable characteristics is that Landrace sows produce unusually large litters, as well as a great deal of milk with which to support their piglets. As a result, Landrace sows often are used in crossbreeding programs, particularly with Durocs.
