Light Cross vs. Dark Cross Pigs: this is a basic explanation. Any classification concerns will be settled by the MIPigs representative at the show.
The easiest way to understand the Light Cross division is by knowing what belongs in the Dark Cross division.
Light Crosses: All white, blue, sandy, or rusty pigmentation. They do not display black or red hair/skin.
Dark Crosses: Animals that show obvious dark, solid color pigmentation on their skin and hair, such as black belts, calico with black spots, or white hogs with black heads.
