Genetics is a major part of raising pigs. If you have poor genetics, or what we call Heinz 57 pigs (genetically they contain a little bit of everything), then they won't fill out real well. The pig above is to narrow and kind of scrawny for its age.
On the other hand really fat pigs aren't desirable. This one has way to much fat, despite being approximately the same age. Both have been on the same diet.
Here's younger but really nice looking Hereford hog. He's wide and well muscled in the shoulders and hindquarters.
Top view, investigating my boot. The Herefords are inquisitive and friendly.
Tomatoes in the greenhouse.
And some peppers.
