Give it 8 pounds of good quality food a day, about 6-7 weeks max should do it.

I am not sure on the age but I can find out, we get them for teaching purposes but once the reach about 150# we have to get rid of them due to size per square foot restrictions so I have an opportunity to possible pick up 2 free !

If you don't take them, please tell me they are close to me, I would gladly take a couple free pigs.
