Re: Piglets
Hi,
For 4-H and FFA, I bred pigs. It was called "from farrow to finish" because I bred, raised, fattened and sold them.
Baby pigs when they're born are VERY lean/skinny and only weigh about 1-2# a piece....esp. if the litter is really big, the piglets are even smaller. Now, if you want something that would be more of a meal for your burm, you'd need to look at and purchase weaners. They're about maybe 3-5# ea. (if that) depending on how well the farmer supplements the litter, or if they're strictly getting only mother's milk. My former roommate's Chihuahua ***** is a little bigger than most of the newborn pigs I raised, and I raised one of the larger of the breeds. The Yorks I bred are called Large Whites in Europe, and the large boar I had weighed over 1200#. My largest sow weighed over 900# when we sold her for being too old and not being prolific anymore.
If you have specific questions, gimme a buzz.
