La bibliografía vasca apenas se ha ocupado de este tema. Sin embargo, la presencia del cerdo ha sido fundamental para Euskal Herria. En libertad o estabulado, ha sido fi el compañero del vasco y solución para múltiples problemas. De hecho, su crianza ha evitado muchas muertes por hambre. Iparralde, en este sentido, se ha relacionado con Hegoalde a través del habitual mercado de los puercos. Los cerdos han permitido pagar las rentas de los amos, y su carne salada ha tenido mucha aceptación, no solo en los caseríos, sino también en las áreas urbanas. Los perniles eran apreciados en las expediciones a Terranova, pues se conservaban sanos largo tiempo.
Despite largely being overlooked in Basque scientifi c literature, the presence of pigs has been of vital importance in the Basque Country. Roaming free or kept in pens, pigs have been faithful companions to the Basques, providing solutions to multiple problems. Indeed, pig farming helped many avoid starvation. In this fi eld, the Northern Basque Country developed ties with the Southern Basque Country through the regular pig markets that were held. Pigs enabled tenets to pay rent to landowners and their meat has always been very popular, not only in rural farmhouses but in urban areas also. Their hind legs were highly valued in expeditions to Newfoundland, since they could successfully be preserved for long periods of time.
