Piglet To Plate: Part 3
A quick update on the pigs growing progress. This is month two since I accuired them when they were 7 1/2 weeks old.

Is there a difference in flavor between male and female also someone said if you don't castrate the males the meat will be gamey.

Do another piglet to plate series next year

Are you keeping, or have you ever kept track of how much of the feed ingredients it takes to top these hogs out?

nice backyard farm!
i always watch and wait for your new videos! -
Can you tell me the height of your hog panels? I'm in the process of making my pen VERY similar to yours. Where I'm shopping, the panels are either 34" or 52". Yours look somewhere between those heights. Also, where did you get them?
BTW, thanks for all the videos. Super informative, and my kids are getting excited about getting our own soon after watching. -
the pigs are looking good

If you measure around the girth of their chest (rite behind the front legs) then the length (from the back of their ears to the start of their tail) so the girth and the length say the girth is 50 inches and the length is 40 you would square the girth 50x50=2,500 then times that by the length 2,500x40=100,00 then divide that by 400: 100,000/400= 250 as your weight to be able to give an average weight gain result here's the link to the formula

Okay, not going to lie. I have two 50+ lb pigs and yes I'm afraid of them. I went into the pigpen the other day to retrieve a part of the food trough they broke - same style of CJ Farms I made the mistake of using nails - bad idea - and both of them were swirling around me with their nipping mouths at around crotch level. Too much for me. I leaped my pallet wall.
Do go into the pen yourself? -
Looking great! Thanks for the update.
-
They are really coming along. Wish we could raise pigs here. Great update.

Hello C&J farms,
Please I'd like to know
(1) the breed of pigs you have
(2) total quantity of feed given from when you got them till final weight
(3) the composition (by weight or percentage) of the mineral & premix
Hope to hear from you soon.
