I've always bought them older and weaned in the past too, but last time I bought pigs I got 5 week-old ones. They weren't weaned yet, and the guy I bought them from castrated the boar pigs a few days before I picked them up. I bought 12 of them and every single one survived and ended up being the nicest set of hogs I've ever had on my place. I started them off on a complete-ration medicated swine feed sold in 50lb bags (feed was kind of expensive, which is why the wean pigs were not). I re-sold half of them as feeder pigs when they hit about 50lbs. I plan on doing the same thing again.
