- I asked a pig expert about the pot-bellied pigs growing larger. She said
- that they had to have been crossbred for that to happen. Then I asked her
- Doris's question about why they would be inedible. Here's her reply:
-
- > The only reason I can think of that they would be inedible is that they are
- > too mature. Normal slaughter age is 6 months. The older pigs would not taste
- > as good as the younger ones. But they wouldn't really be inedible.
