What age can you breed a pig at?

Answer 1

1. Pigs are slaughtered at different ages. Generally they can be divided into piglets, which are 1.5 to 3 months old; the fattening pigs, intended for pork and bacon, which are 4 months to one year old; and finally the older pigs, such as sows (female pigs) and boars (uncastrated male pigs).

Answer 2

A potbelly is not good eating. You do not eat it.

Answer:

The potbelly pig was originally bred in Vietnam as a food animal. They reach maturity between the age of 4 or 5 years, standing 16-20" tall and weighing 130-150 pounds. The average life span is 10 to 15 years, or possibly a little longer. Like most pigs they should dress out at 30% to 40% of the live weight. A local abattoir should be contracted for the killing and dressing (it's messy) to ensure the best use and recovery.

Pigs can start breeding between 5-8 months of age, but it is recommended to wait until they are at least 8 months old to ensure they are physically mature enough to handle pregnancy and motherhood.
