Best Answer

Most market pigs (those that are being raised for slaughter) are slaughtered when they are around 3 to 4 months of age. On most pig farms, it's not the farmer that is responsible for killing them, it's the people who work at the slaughter/meat packing plants that are responsible for the killing process.
