that is whare I got my boy from and at 1 1/2 yrs he is only 97 pounds. most of his growing is done. he will still grow until he reaches 4 years old but he will grow very slow. they grow the most in their first year. in December he reached 90 pounds. in the past 5 months he has only gained 7 pounds. this lady, Nancy, breeds for temperament and PROPER weight. at the time of his birth, his mom was 3 yrs old and 80 pounds, and his dad was 5 yrs and 110 pounds. my boy is very well behaved in the house. he is also crate trained since winter time it is to cold for him to be out if I'm not home.

yep, guinea hogs are for small farms.. its becoming popular.. Dexter Cattle, mini Turkeys, chickens...
I was told the teacups are poorly bred to get so tiny.. have weak legs and dont live as long...
Of course they can be improved upon over the years, but I have a feeling, a small pig is not less trouble
then a bigger pig.. and probably not any more legal in some small back yards..
