It derives from the old Yorkshire breed from the county of Yorkshire, in northern England. HistoryFirst recognised in 1868, the breed is the progenitor of the American Yorkshire in North America.[1] CharacteristicsThe Large White is a big, white pig, with erect ears and a slightly dished face.{{r|bpa2}} UseThe Large White is one of the most numerous of all pig breeds, widely used in crossbreeding for intensive pig farming around the world.[2] It was originally developed as an outdoor breed, but today it is one of those favoured by commercial pig breeders, lending uniformity to pigs produced for meat on a large scale.{{r|bpa}} References1. ^{{cite book |title=Choosing and Keeping Pigs |last=McDonald-Brown |first=Linda |publisher=Firefly Books |year=2009 |isbn=978-1-55407-469-3 }} {{British livestock|R.2}}2. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.ansi.okstate.edu/breeds/swine/largewhite/ |title=Large White |publisher= Oklahoma State University Dept. of Animal Science }} 1 : Pig breeds originating in England |
