[QUOTE="neilo, post: 3491404, member: 348"] I'm certainly no expert on pigs, but that seems very light for 5 month old pigs IME.:scratchhead: We try to kill ours (as advised by several friends that do know about pigs) at 90-100kg, but that would be at about 4 months old. What breed are they, as that would make a difference to growth rates and how much fat they'll lay down on decent feed. I hasten to add that my (limited) experience is based on a couple of Durocs reared intensively for the freezer each year.:hungry: [/QUOTE]
