This meat type, well muscled pig has been developed to provide good carcass muscling and when used in a crossbreeding program, there is evidence of superior carcass quality in the offspring.

The modern Hampshire excels in producing a lean, meaty carcass. They are black in color with a white belt around the body that includes the shoulder and front legs.
