it isn't just the breed(besides spots they are always miserable) it will depend on you like my hamp goes great for me but my older sisters hamp, Cookie was miserable and would run back to his pen until I took over his training and he listened and now he walks great. like I said my sisters pig last year, Berkley she was a devil to train Cookie was only a bit easier to train. My pigs walk good but my sister messes her pigs up so I have to train them it isn't all in the breed of the pig some of it is how you are going to train your pig. I see almost no difference in what me and my sister do to trin our pigs but hers always come out crazy and mine come out walking nice.

my first 3 pigs(Lollipop, Nutmeg & Napoleon) were just commercial pigs and we have a weight limit of 300 pounds by state fair and we had to really hold them back on feed so they wouldn't be overweight.

we had 10 BeefBuilder calves in a pasture. this morning I went out and there was only 4 in the pasture we looked all around the yard and drove around the backroads and we didn't find them. We called the salebarn and gave a descripition of the calves and said no one had brought any in that looked like that so I don't think they have been stolen we called all of our neighbors and they will let us know if they see the calves anywhere. The worst part is we have cornfields all around us so they could be hiding in a cornfield and they are chopping silage so my dad called someone at the dairy so the people chopping look out for the calves. we did find some hoofprints by a cornfield the prints dont go into the cornfield but alongside it so my dad and little sis are following the tracks since I have volleyball practice so I cant look

there are 6 missing calves and 2 of them are mine: Waffles & my bottle calf Rolo. I really want Waffles back.

My dad said that between all 6 of the calves they are worth probably $12,000 so that would be reason enough to steal them

I really miss Puddles right now but I miss Waffles even more. I know I had to bring Puddles in to the butcher and I was ready for that I said good bye to him but I might never get Waffles back there is a chance I will end up getting Waffles back but right now I really really want Waffles home safely.
