The pigs are about 3 1/2 months old now.
I'll have weights on them soon. They're looking good though. They're almost caught up to the size of the feeders and breeders being raised by other students that have been getting more feed/individual care.
The first slaughter is one week from today. I think the biggest two will go (pictured above--the black and white one and the white one with black spots). The meat will feed the campus for one or two meals.
They'll be moving into the woods to savor the sweet juices of apple season imminently (tomorrow morning, if all goes according to plan). Today I fed them 4 buckets of slightly moldy pound cake and other goodies from a nearby bakery. Lends new meaning to the term 'hog heaven'.
