    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I've been looking at Hogs for some time, but was pretty much at capacity so I didn't acquire any. Recent changes in the collection, and the process of shopping with RYAN, found me faced with a pair that I just couldn't pass up. I have seen articles and references stating the adult size of 4.5-6 ft, with females breeding at 4.5-5 ft. I have NOT, however, seen any comment on the weights. My female is right around the 5 ft mark...but she just doesn't look big enough to breed (in part, because I know the size of a breedable BCI female and can't help but compare).

I would appreciate any info on adult size (pics with a size reference would be great), or approximate weight for breeding females.

Thanks,
Harald

(yeah, I know...pictures. my camera is temporarily out of commission - soon, though. I promise)
 
Thanks, Michael.
That first one really sorta throws off the curve, doesn't it?
I had seen Paul's pics, but without a size reference it is really hard to guesstimate.

You left out the part where I held the gun to your head and made you buy them LOL!!
 
Just because I blamed you in private, didn't mean I was doing so here. I merely said that as a result of our "shopping", I came across a pair I couldn't pass up. There was no gun...as I told you: I'm pathetic, addicted, and have no self control :raspberry
 
of course, if you had just bought them when I sent you the link...rofl
