I think this is already a question, but I cannot find it.
I would like to know where I can purchase 2 pigs for my Backyard farm. I live in Massachusetts. I ran several Google searches and all came up with butchered pigs, not the piglets I am looking for. What is the proper time of year to purchase piglets? I know they have to be around 8 weeks old.
Thank you

I found our piglets by googling around for small scale pig farms, and then contacting them. Although on their website they didn't list them (or their other animals) for sale, when I called she said that she regularly sells them but that it isn't her primary business so it isn't listed. Perhaps if you found some farms that butcher and sell the meat, you could contact one of them and ask if they sell live weaner pigs.
