Duroc pigs are a popular American breed recognized for their reddish-brown color and impressive muscle development. First developed in the northeastern U.S. during the 1800s, they have become a staple in commercial pork production due to their rapid growth, feed efficiency, and high carcass quality. Durocs are often used in crossbreeding programs to improve meat yield and growth rates.

These pigs are medium to large in size, with a strong frame and slightly drooping ears. Durocs are known for their calm demeanor and ability to thrive in a range of environments. Their combination of performance, durability, and manageability makes them a favorite among both commercial producers and show pig breeders.
