Just wait, next thing you know you'll be having litters at eight week intervals...

i agree!
I'm allergic to pork and pig products too, so i don't have to feel the residual guilt about eating the cuteness...

Please share pics as they grow! I go tomorrow to pick up my first gilt and boar, so have months to wait for our first piglets, very excited!
