My piglet was 25 pounds at 6 weeks of age, and he was the runt of the litter.

The weight of a Yorkshire pig (like any other pig) depends on the age and sex of the pig. From what I have read a pig ready for butcher averages from 200 to 350 pounds (lbs).

A 4 year old sow can be 500lbs where as a boar of the same age can weigh as much (or more then) 1000lbs.

The worlds largest pig topped out at 1600lbs and died of a heart attack in September 2008.
