Special Little Oinks in North Devon

Welcome to our Dawnmoor herd of Pietrain piggies!! Based in North Devon we are a family run smallholding specialising in the Belgian breed Pietrains.

Pietrain, Belgium, the village from which the breed takes its name, was the birthplace of the breed. The breed is of medium size and is white with black spots. Around the black spots there are characteristic rings of light pigmentation that carries white hair. The breed is commonly referred to as being of piebald markings. The ears are carried erect.


The Pietrain is very popular as a terminal sire in two of Europe’s largest pig producing countries, Germany and Spain. The first importation of pigs into the UK was carried out by the Pig Industry Development Authority in 1964. The Pietrain is renowned for its very high yield of lean meat.
