I would think that's really slow. But that can occur in nature as well.

We have a two westerns and both were hatchlings in Nov. of last year. The female is about 17 inches and the male 12. My son cares for them and the male gave him problems, so I took over and now its feeds regularly and is growing well.

I am very interested in what information you will receive, as I am getting all manner of information on what is the actual reproductive size of western hogs. My son, tells me, he surfs the web, that westerns are indeed tiny.

In the field yesterday, I observed 4 adult females and they ranged from 22 inches, to 27 inches. It was a good day, first time in a while, they were all fatties.

Anyway, I picked up a 4 1/2 inch male Dec 31 last year and hes already 14 inches. Best wishes
