It took awhile to find a Pig. Its suprisingly difficult to find a Pig. I guess when you don't know where to look its hard. I got two Chester White Gilts. They are about 60 pounds and healthy. I made a shelter like Farmboy's and am using Cattle panels aswell.
I've read tons of journal entries on Pigs and will be feeding them a mixture of kitchen straps and feed. They are currently on a 1/4 of an acre that I allowed the grass to grow unmowed from the beginning of warm weather so its taller than the Pigs right now, lol. They are already rooting around pretty good.

Congrats on joinning the pig world! I agree, at least in my neck of the woods they are difficult to find too; especially pure bred. I hope to see some pics of your pigs when you get a chance. I have never heard of this breed.
