The intelligence of pigs can vary depending on the breed and individual. On average, pigs have been found to have an IQ equivalent to that of a 3-year-old human child. However, it is important to note that IQ tests are designed for humans and may not accurately measure the intelligence of animals. Pigs are highly social and adaptable animals with complex cognitive abilities.

How heavy is the heaviest pig?
Recently, in October 2007, there was a Chinese festival. This festival, called "The Pig of God" festival, is a annual festival, where farmers fatten one of their pigs, making them gain weight. The winner in 2007 was a VERY big pig! This pig, not given a name, was force-fed sand and metal to when it was a weight of 2001 lbs. When the heaviest pig is chosen, it is killed. It is then painted and paraded down the street.

Lambs are usually born from 142 to 152 days after they have been bred. Most farms tend to breed in the fall, resulting in lambs born in the warmer spring months. However, it is possible to breed at any time, so lambs can be born virtually any time of the year. Spring, however, is the most common time, because of ideal weather conditions.
A pot bellied pig grows to the size of a great dane. A tea cup mini pig grows to the size of a small labrador. You cannot make any pig "stay small". And just a guess by the question, you cannot keep them in a back yard or your house, they will wreck your house and dig up you garden, as well as it being way to small for a pig. They are fairly hard to look after and require training as a bite from a pig could remove a finger, or worse.
I know it sounds fairly grim, but don't get me wrong, I love pigs!
I love pigs too and I've done a lot of research on both the pot bellied pig and the teacup pig. The teacup pig is raised to be a house pet. They enjoy the company of people and other animals. They are also easily trained and friendly when treated the right way as a piglet. Teacup pigs do grow to be about the size of a small labrador. You can tell how big the pig will be by looking at the size of its mother and father. The female are generally smaller then the males. A fully grown teacup pig varies between 30-60 lbs. A pot bellied big is the type of pig you would see at a farm. No matter what pig you get, be sure to consult with your vet to ensure your pig lives a happy and healthy life.
