I remember wayyyyyy back in the 80s Amy Grant was a guest on with Johnny Carson. She was talking about how her fiance had given her a piglet for her birthday or something. Carson asked her if the piglet dealt with holiday depression. She said, “Oh, she’s real despondent now. We’re eating her.”
After all the response died down she said, “After they reach 300 lbs they lose that ‘cute’ edge.
Pot-bellied pigs were a fad pet for a while.
That is mostly true. Although the sows can sometimes keep a bit of it if they are sweet tempered.
No females for us. Breeding pigs is something we decided was too much trouble for too little reward. So we just buy feeder pigs.
