We bought this dude from the livestock auction wed. for $35 with one thing in mind.

he weighs 295(though the pics dont do him justice)

AWESOME DEAL! I just paid $35 a piece for 5 week olds.

My, what a delicious looking pig!

 

[pringle]

best bacon you will ever have!

 

[Cindiloohoo]

Yummmmmmmm!

Nice looking boar. Since he's not castrated, watch yourself around him. Some can be nesty.

we kinda watch each other when I am feeding him...........we get about 3-5 feet from each other and I have touched him a couple of times

Poor thing, am I the only one thinking he's very pretty? I mean, there's more to a pig than just its cooked flesh. . .

 

[rodriguezpoultry]

Oh he's pretty all right...but that's not why the OP purchased him.

He will be some good eating!

You'll want to castrate him ASAP if he's for eating. It's usually done before they reach 200lbs (ie maturity) to avoid a nasty boar taste and smell to the meat.
