Hi there,
I've got a pair of tamworth pigs, 4 months old. The larger of the two weighs approximately 148 lbs today based on my string measuring. The smaller one kept trying to eat the string and play with me so he did not get measured, only scratched. lol. My guess is that the smaller one is about 130 lbs.

Given those weights and ages how long till they reach 220+ weights?

thanks,
Cathy

Guessing: about two more months. They do tend to grow a little slower in winter. Up the calories.

Cheers
