Landrace breed history New bloodlines were imported into England, Scotland and Northern Ireland from Norway in the 1980s and some new bloodlines into Northern Ireland from Finland and more recently from Norway. These new lines were imported, and assessed, and used to broaden the genetic base of the breed, allowing development, and making the British Landrace pig unique amongst other Landrace breeds throughout the world. The British Landrace breed has expanded rapidly to occupy its present position as one of the UK’s most popular breeds of pig. With Landrace breeders being acutely aware of the need to improve commercial attributes of the breed, carrying on from the 1950s, with testing and selection right up to present days, keeping up with the demands of the ever changing world of commercial/pedigree pig production.
