So I have decided against naming the pigs this time around. So I refer to the pigs as Big Pig, for the bigger one and Lil Pig for the little one. They seem to like it. :)
The pigs are doing great and starting to become much friendlier. They of course love feeding time and run around like crazies when they see one of us coming with the yellow bucket with their feed in it.

I decided to measure the pigs also last weekend. This took much longer than I thought it would. They were very weary of the tape measure. They didn't want it near them and then they decided they wanted to try to eat it to see if it was food. Finally after about 20 minutes I got their measurements.
Big Pig - 105lbs
Lil Pig - 75lbs
They are will be 5 months old on December 15th. They are growing well and love their feed and any extra's we give them. Mostly our leftovers. This pair of pigs are funny too because they love to eat hay. They go crazy when they see me bringing in hay to their pen. I shake it all out in their bedding area and they go in an lay down and start munching away.
Check back in another month or so to see how much they have grown.
