Hog Island X Argentine---How big will it get?

TacomaUte Jan 19, 2006 02:44 PM

I just picked up this guy a couple weeks ago. I understand Hogs usually only get about 5 feet while Argentines can go 10' or more. Would the fact that it's half Hog Island limit its growth or would it have the potential to grow as large as a pure Argentine?

Thanks

Jim

there are a great deal of factors that are involved in that. first, there are reports of hogs getting substantually differnt sizes (thought to be due to crossbreeding). so you dont about the input of the hog to the equation.
to make a safe guess i would just assume it will get the average size of a columbian. so if its a male roughly six feet and if its a female roughly eight. there are always exceptions though.
