COOL! I got my boar from her last year. Jasper is his sire. Can't remember offhand who his dam is though... 3 months? I am jealous. It took 6 months to get Harry's registration, 4 months to get my sow's, and I sent in my membership application and a litter registration last August. They...

I would recommend American Guinea Hogs if you are just wanting something to love and feed, possibly eventually butcher. They are slow growers, but they are lovely little hogs that are easy to handle and quite personable. Other smaller pigs that are nice to have around are Potbellies or Kune...

We just got AGHs last year. Everything I have read says the ideal time to butcher is 10 months to 1 year. Our boar is 1 year and 3 months and he is just now filled out to a size I think would be worth butchering (125-150lbs). Our 7 month olds are still very small. Our boar's sire was a...

I just got into AGHs last year. We had our first litter in June and plan on breeding our sow back this month. Did you get your hogs from Olive Hill? What has the timeframe been on getting your paperwork back from the AGHA?

A busy life can be a good thing :rolleyes: Seems like forever since I have had time to just play on the internet. I have been getting a lot more hours and work, and when I am home it seems I am either doing chores, eating, sleeping or the internet isn't working LOL First off.... Piggy Update...

YAY BETTY! :pop I'm so excited for you.

You should tell Rolley he has his own cheer squad on here. If I know dogs, that will inflate his head for sure and help him heal. Congrats on the babies and lots of milk!

*Sigh* So Cute! How many more does do you have due yet? I am still working out a way to get that red buckling in your avatar.... You wouldn't be interested in a mini pig would you? ;)

Stinks that you had to take such a hit. I have found it works that way sometimes. I just take the enjoyment I got out of it and call it even (or if not enjoyment, then the learning experience to never do that again!) I will be staying tuned for kidding time and baby photos! I am a touch...

It most certainly could :D Different genetics will grow and mature at different rates. Could also be because it is a pig and eats more or just stronger & bigger than its sibs. Lots of reasons for various sizes in a litter when there is one sire, you just added another one having two possible...

Drat... my chauffer says too far too :/ he is such a fuddy dud. At least he is nice and does drive me a lot of places. I hate hate HATE driving. So if DH doesn't wanna, I usually don't just because I won't drive myself. I am sorta saving up my driving points for the 3 hour drive that I...

Nope.

How cute! Congrats! May I inquire as to what it means to "jug" your ewes?

You close to MI? I will totally trade a ceeeeute little baby piggie for a nice meaty buckling ;) I can't believe that they are already so chunky and running all around the stall like crazy things. I touch them and pet them and hold them twice a day while Pinkerton enjoys her meals. Harry...

Well that isn't fun :/ Allergies like that are hard. We have a cat at the place I work and a lady came in for an interview for a sales position, she was sneezing her head off one min into the interview. Needless to say, they didn't think she would work out well there. At least you were nice...
