Weanlings & Growers
– Meat Quality
Live Barrows and Gilts that do not meet breeding quality.
Large Blacks typically have a live butcher weight of 200-300 pounds. However, allowing a longer grow-out time has not only shown an increase in weight but also an increase in fat marbling. We have found adequate quantity and quality of feed and forage is vital, and with it, they can average 0.7-0.9 pounds of growth/day, reaching butcher weight by 8-10 months. They are generally easy keepers that are reasonably respectful of fences. Docile and friendly. It is an excellent option for beginners and experienced pig owners.
