[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 544934, member: 852"] Gail -- it depends on the bloodlines of the pig. The good ones are bred to take 100-120 days from weaning to slaughter (approx 250lbs). If the person you get your pigs from actually knows something they should be able to tell you the exact number of days. One of my brothers raised 4H pigs for several years, and he's had some that were bred to take 104 or 112 days. Those pig breeders have it down to a science. :) [/QUOTE]
