Why are their pigs for sale on craigslist.....isn't it to early???

[Willow's Meadow]

I was on craigslist and was noticed that their are a lot of piglets for sale on their. Isn't it to early in the year to sell piglets??? I don't know much about pigs but I might get one this summer.....I'm just researching it right now. But isn't it to early in the year to buy piglets??? I just don't want to decide that I want to get pigs and then have it be to late if I decide to get one in April or May.

domestic pigs breed pretty much year round,they are not seasonal

Piglets are sold when they are available to be sold. There is no "season."

Not to early,.....if there here.

When I was young, Dad had pigs, & we had piglets on the ground all year long. I guess dad planned it that way, so we always had pork in the freezer.

I think it's also getting to be time to purchase pigs for fair showing, demand is on the upswing right now.

Pigs don't have a season. They'll breed year round.

where are they and how much they want for them

 

[TripleStinkFarms]

Pigs have a gestation of 114 days and a weaning time of about 4 weeks so they will typically breed and have multiple litters a year regardless of the season.
