I found a deal on a huge boar. His name is Wilbur and he is a Red Wattle. He got too big to breed their sows, so he went up for sale. The lady who owned him couldn’t put him in the freezer, he was her first pig and a pet. He is very calm and gentle. But she became afraid of Wilbur because he wanted to rub on her, affectionately, but because of his size, it was dangerous.

We picked him up today. I took boiled eggs and he walked up in the trailer to eat them. We unloaded him and he walked around his new pen.

We’ll feed him soured corn, milk, alfalfa cubes and hay for 4-6 weeks, then take him to slaughter.

Oh what an amazing animal... Its so large... Its such a shame that slaughter is one of its purpose... it should serve his purpose well.

That's so big! I bet it will produce a lot of pork meat, We normally don't have such large pigs in our local slaughterhouse. How old is it? he looks so mature.
