I think it's the one on the right in the picture. He is longer than the girl & a lighter shade of red.

With names like pork chop & pork rind, considering they a a breeding pair, you might have to wait awhile for that food

LOL!! There are a few more pics on the AJJ Farm facebook. But they are all pretty similar. They all get snapped up in the corner of the pen they come to when they are hoping you have more food for them LOL.

Because they are a breeder pair & shouldn't be bred until 8 months old.

Who told you that? The boar will be ready to breed by about 6 mths old BUT you can rest assured that the gilt will not let him near her until she is ready. She will not usually come into heat until she is between 7-10mths old so you have no fear of him breeding her before that time. Some breeders let the gilt miss the first heat & breed on the second. We don't normally do that unless we do not have a boar the right size for the gilt.

You will find that they are much happier if you leave them together. Pigs are herd animals & need each others company. Right now we are running 7 boars & 17 gilts/sows here. The boars are rarely by themselves, they always have at least one sow for company. (We do not put a boar with another boar! That is asking for trouble - they each have their own pasture.) This makes them much more amiable. If a boar is by himself he has a tendency to be much more ornery & will constantly challenge the fence and if he can smell that gilt in heat he will do whatever he can to get to her.

Of course they are your pigs & you can do with them what you like but my advice would be to leave them together & let nature take its course

Hmmm that's interesting. I'm pretty sure the breeder told my husband this info? But I could be wrong. Really I have done so much more research on the goats than the pigs. The pigs have been more his domain. But, I will let him know about this. Believe me, it's way easier to just leave them together so I'm all for it
