I was hoping someone out there could help me?
I picked up two Male (not castrated) Tamworths about 3 weeks ago, I was told they were about 6 months old (which would suggest they are ready to go to slaughter) but they were running with 3 month old ones and I am not sure if I maybe have picked up two yonger ones than was first suggested.
To let you understand my doubts - I am 5'10" and the pair of them just come up to about my knee (about 2' high)
This is the first time I have ventured into pigs so am still learning, can anyone help me out how to work out their age? I am slightly concerned about getting them off to slaughter too late, after reading some of the posts about "tainted meat" that you can get from older Boars.
Hope you can help me out
