Another thing about pigs: THEY NEVER STOP GROWING! A dozen shoats had escaped from someone's farm - we never found out who; we held them for thirty days, and no one ever claimed them, so we sold all but two sows. We sold one of them a year later. We kept the last one for another two years before we put her in the freezer; she weighed over 400 pounds at slaughter, and we got back over 300 pounds of meat! (And it wasn't tough at all; it was some of the best pork we've ever eaten.)
