Pigs # 22 - Update
The pigs are 26 weeks old, and I finally managed to get a tape-measure to them on Friday morning. The bigger they get, generally the more docile they are, and they were fairly happy to be measured during their lunch! Their vital statistics are:
Pig 1: Chest 37", Back of ears to base of tail 42"
Pig 2: Chest 37", Back of ears to base of tail 40"
Using the tried and tested formula, that gives:
Pig 1: 65.33kg liveweight
Pig 2: 62.22kg liveweight
My growth charts are on my other computer so I can't compare directly (update later this week), but from memory they're about the same as the Saddlebacks at this stage. I'd like to get them to about 30 weeks, or 75 to 80kgs in weight before they 'go'.
I popped in to see James & Richard at Morris Free Range Meats & Horticulture in Coedypaen today and saw some new-born piglets, which must have been only a few kgs in weight each. What amazingly productive animals pigs are!
