"what are the average weights for hogs as they mature? EX..males & females at hatchling, several months, 1 year, and full adult?"
here some averages I have:
male and female
birth 5-15g
4 months slow feeder 10-20g / yr 20-40g adult 65-95g
good feeder 20-60g /yr 60-100g males 150-300grams females
adult size on males 60-120g
Females most of my adults are 2-6 years old and weigh 350-550g and growing at a rate of about 75-150g a year even with two clutches a season. I have yet to reach burnout on a female I have raised myself.
"i mean at 4 months, shouldn't they weigh more than 10 and 12 grams?"
generally yes..but sometimes they can get off to a slow start and can start pounding pinks after a few months of work. I say at 4 months current feeding response is most critical. 2-3x per week a small thawed pinky etc..that would be a good feeder.
Hope this helps,
Best Regards,
Justin
