Can i ask why you are killing so young?Surely they could be grown on a while longer?

I kill pigs around 7 months, 'almost 6months' is pushing it a little but do-able, although the meat will probably be more flavoursome and there'll be more of it if you wait a touch longer.
All a matter of judgement and preference and how you're pigs are growing really - and obviously, how you've fed and housed them
