Some PIG!

[can you hear me now?]

that is a great price. they go for about 30 dollars for a weined piglet here. I raise yorkshires and they are about my favorite pig. I got one question for you though. Does he still have his reproductive organs? I have never butchered a boar but i hear quite often that if they do that it changes the flavor of the meat. Anyway I am sure you knew that so i guess i am probably wasting your time reading this but it was just a curiosity. Let me know how the meat comes out. Because of what i have been told once a boar gets too old to use i give it away on freecycle to people that can use it.

Did you read the update? LOL When we got it home we discovered he was she. I am looking for a hampshire or yorkshire to breed her with. Then have him cut and raise him for meat.

I don't know the truth of the matter MP, but I have been told that gilts (females) grow faster. This one of mine is a monster. Grows while you are looking at her!

We are raising 5 pigs right now. When we bought them the males were alot bigger then the females. That was oh about 4 months ago. One female now far out weighs males. And about the price we gave 40 or 45 dollars.

I'd say you got a great price, piglets go for $125-150 up here.
