We do not weigh our pigs. We determine our sizes only by heights. Only farm animals sold at auction are sold by weights. Pigs, being so compact, must be determined only by height. As previously stated, they are compact and hide their weight well. Some times we refer to them as "bricks with legs." We can also not control how you feed. I am 5'3" and could weigh 100 pounds or 300 pounds depending on my lifestlye. Our pigs are all easily carried :)
What about weight
There are MANY misconceptions surrounding mini pigs. Many people believe that mini pigs, also know as micro minis or teacup pigs "remain tiny their entire lives. Pigs are very compact and carry their weight every well. They will weigh double what a dog of the same height will. This is why its so important to go by "inches" and NEVER weighs. 20 pound healthy pigs DO NOT exist. We have pigs here that are between 14-16 inches tall. The world record pig is 34 pounds at 5 yrs old. Please reasearch and dont fall for those lies and scams.
​
Pigs are not fully mature until they are at least 3 yrs old. Pigs are able to reproduce at just a FEW WEEKS old, so dont be fooled by going to a farm and seeing a tiny mom with little piglets. All of our mothers are at least 2 yrs old before becoming pregnant so that the buyer knows more of the mature size of their piglet.
The term micro is a marketing term used by breeders to describe a small pig. Im comparison to a farm hog, these guys are super tiny!

Since becoming an AMPA registered breeder, we have been measuring pigs and keeping record of that in the data base. Pigs under 14 inches at 5 years od have yet to be proven. Man breeders claim to have pigs under these heights but its not yet proven to date
