Pig Weights - just for Janis!


Here goes: 
Piggy #
19 66 lbs.
17 57 lbs.
16 70 lbs.
28 43 lbs.
26 46 lbs.
30 38 lbs.

Ideally we would range between 60 & 80 lbs.  We have quite a variety this year and may have to separate them later if the little ones don't catch up a little - doesn't seem to be a problem right now.  They are going after the food like the big ones.  The weigh-in at the fair is what really counts - you have to be 230 lbs. or higher in order to sell.  Sounds like heaven to be expected to gain nearly 2 lbs. a day!  Janis, you should get pigs next year - ask your relative Katie, she has experience with pigs now.  I'm sure she would be glad to help you bring them to weigh-in!  LOL
