deep-bodied pig

The Large Black is a long, deep-bodied pig, well known for its hardiness and suitability for extensive farming
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_Black_pig
When selecting a pig, one of the most important areas to evaluate is
structure and depth of body. The pig must be sound and be
able to make it up to weight. The pig must have some depth of body because if the pig is too narrow it won’t feed out as fast or efficient. Depth of body can show the pigs ability to feed out.
