    Re: Where are the giant ASF's?

    Speaking of keeping them around long enough, I'm guessing your stock doesn't develop those tumors at around nine months. I have seen a couple of the old females get them but I typically don't let them get that old.

    Some do, some don't. I can't recall any big males getting them but the breeder females usually do to some extent. If its bad they get culled.

    I've only had 2 with the papilomavirus. One male, and one female.

    Hmm... Now that you mention the giant ASF thing, my one female is probably 1.5 to 2 times the size of the other two, and they're all the same age and were raised together. I really need to get a scale to weigh her...
