How to weigh a pig


This is Mr. Nash our pig farmer friend weighing one of the pigs we bought. He simply put the pig in a grain sack and hooked the sack on a scale. The pig weighed about 45 lbs and was sold to us for about $80.00 US. When the pig gets about 130 lbs., they will either sell it for meat or have the females bred for more pigs. Pigs have a 3-3-3 cycle for having a litter. Three months, three weeks and three days and they deliver after getting pregnant
