1 what breed of pigs are these?

A close friend of mine got them a while ago and is sick of them. My uncle raised pigs for a while. But I don't know breeds other than it looks Potbelly or it doesn't and spots are kune kune (definitely not accurate).

2 How long before butcher do you need to castrate?

Definitely looking to freezer them if we cant sell for a decent price.

3 castration tips and how's with grown male pigs?

We do have a vet but right now I really don't want to have to trailer these things. And how much would a vet charge. I don't care if they get sedation son of a b****** have caused enough trouble for the neighborhood 🤣 they can deal with a little bit of pain right. yes they still get antibiotics and stuff and I'm sure the sedation is more for us and our safety at this point.

4 Butchers for large pigs and how to find them?

Most of the butchering places I know won't do large pigs because they would almost have to be set up for cattle and the places that are set up for cattle seem to always be busy and they don't seem to like dealing with large pigs either. Granted I haven't called around this year but like 3 years ago when I was helping my uncle I remember the problems he was running into and these aren't new problems.

5 What is a good price range per?

If we decide the butchering isn't worth it for us or is too much

ANY OTHER ADVISE, IDEAS OR INPUT IS WELCOME TOO

Biggest brown one is male and uncut

One facing us head one in one Pic is another uncut male

The rest of the are females and most likely pregnant. The males will charge mainly if you turn your back on them. The smaller male is worse.

So the other 3 that have grown with it don't have this issue but it seem to have turned in legs and always steps on its own foot. What can I do if anything to correct this issue.

So not completely new to raising Ducks but I've only raised a couple batches from egg to adulthood before. There is one particular duck that's starting to have a curl in their feathers around their tail feather and I'm wondering does that mean it's a boy.

​

Also have some other pictures about a foot question with a duck and I will be removing these posts that way nobody can find my family and let them know that I had ducks in the bathtub LOL don't any of you dare out me🤣 i just wanted good pic with a white background while their stuff soaked and dried. They just keep 💩💩 everywhere so bathtub picture it is. (Plus easy clean up)
