I'm seeing spots! (registered rare pigs needing names)

[Livinzoo]

Well as promised in another thread here are the pics of my pigs. I need names.

Here is Fiona my year old gloucestershire old spot gilt.

Here are the three new gloucestershire old spot babes

Here are the 2 gilts. They are 9 weeks old

And my boar. He is 4 months old.

Any good ideas for names? These are registered stock and will be with me for a long time so I want cool, but interesting names.

SHREK!!!!

Kidding I hate theme names.

I great name for your boar could be Lyle or Virgil( I love the name Virgil)

For your Gilts....hmmm, how about Mabel and Verna



I work in a nursing home and get MANY of my pet names from there!
ETA....Oh wait name one dice....perfect! I always said if I get a dalmation I would name it dice.... Or you could name them after the 101dalmations....Pongo, purty.....oh yeah I hate theme names

I want to if you know an estimate on raising pigs(hogs) my son wants two this coming spring and wants to butcher in the fall.

I have names for the ones I am getting but probably not want you want. Bacon and skillet.

I raised 2 feeders last year, they both were called pork. Cost is dependent on the cost of your feed. If you can source old veggies, bread, or milk you will improve your costs.

Here is a good site on cost. Remember you will need to adjust the cost for feed in your area. http://sugarmtnfarm.com/blog/2005/08/keeping-pig-for-meat.html

If you plan to eat them then I would give them food names like Hammy or Pork Chops.

Oh no, these are not for eating. They are registered gloucestershire old spots. They are a rare breed and I have 3 girls and a boy for a reason.
