That is the kind of pig I had! He is a duroc-hereford cross.

thanks guys! that's great news as i've read that herefords are supposed to be tamer than most breeds.

Sally, how old was your piggie when you slaughtered him?

Almost a year old. He was a stinker when he was tiny like that, but as soon as he filled out, he was very tame and low key. You see the chickens and ducks hung out with him all day long and he didn't mind. (Not advocating this by the way, I've heard some gruesome stories. We took a chance and it worked out.) We even scratched his back with a rake, he loved it!
