And when they are overgrown they will make a lovely bacon roll.

Unfortunately, you have to kill them at 6 months, if you intend to eat them

noooo, i couldn't kill it! i intend for it to be a house pig and will make sure i am well educated in how to look after them properly as i would before taking on any pet. i couldn't get attached then have to part with it because i couldn't cope , that'd be awful.

Just get married Laurie, most wives think their old man is a pig sometime in their life, and he,ll probably never dig the garden up. :D:D

lol:D

I am getting married. The problem is i need him to dig my garden up so i can put a shed up and he wont!!!:D

I did think when i read jacqui's comment that my other half was probably more of a liability and the way  he carries on sometimes he'll be lucky to make it to 25years

If you do think you want a pig, go and visit someone with pigs first.  I can tell you I could not get within 10 feet of my friends pigs as the smell made me feel sick.  They say it's because pigs poo smells most like human toilets that we are turned off by them.

ooh, lovely.. lol.  I'll look into it further because theres a lot i dont know and i've got 2 little ones to consider aswell. Its a lovely thought but i might find that its just not practical right now. if thats the case it'll have to wait and reconsider in the future if circumstances permit. Thanks for your help and advice so far everyone, it is really appreciated..
