Looking good Jeff-you're getting excellent growth on them from the looks of it. They usually achieve peak coloration by about a year or so of age. This year we'll have a couple of females producing, hopefully....

Do mexicans tend to run smaller than the westerns??

I've seen 30" captives from this population, but the avergae size female is more like these, about 24". I have yet to see a male from there anywhere near as large - I don't have a clue how they compare to other Hogs though.
Story about the one on the bottom, I missed her when she was heavy gravid. I searched high and low for her for about a month, and this is what she looked like the next time I saw her - I was sick.

In 2006, Carl Ackerbauser and I were on 90 between Marathon and Alpine when we came across a HUGE kennerlyi, freshly hit. This animal was easily as large as just about any captive plains hog female I've seen-and keep in mind that one of my own red phase females tops 700 gms!
More heartbreaking were the many eggs spilling out of her and scattered across the pavement....
