Here at Solitaire Farm, the British Lop is a hardy breed and a good forager, well suited to an extensive system. The breed has a reputation for prolific breeders – litters of 12-14 piglets are entirely normal and well reared with a sow that has excellent maternal instincts.
British Lops are generally placid and easily managed, despite being a large breed with sows averaging around 300kg and boars around 350kg. They are similar in appearance to a Landrace or a Welsh pig, but much deeper in the body that is white in colour and with characteristic large, lop ears.
