Meet Bobo.

Bobo is our senior Purebred Registered Berkshire Boar. He was born on September 15, 2014 and came to Hough Heritage Farm at 12 weeks old. He is rare in that most farms don't keep their senior pigs after 4-5 years old. Bobo will stay on this farm and enjoy his life as long as possible. His arrival to the farm started in the backseat of my Honda CRV in a dog crate but he soon busted out and ended up riding shotgun in the front passenger seat for most of the drive over to the Sunshine Coast. Bobo was the size of my Shih Tzu when he arrived. He is now over 1000 lbs, about 4 feet tall, and 8 feet long. He is truly a gentle giant, baby goats and piglets often used him as a jungle gym while he naps. Pigs achieve adult weight at the age of 5 so while Heritage breed pigs grow to 250 lbs by 7 months of age, the age of processing, it takes a lot longer to grow to their adult size. This is why so many people are surprised when they see Bobo, an adult boar. We are used to seeing pigs up to the processing age of 7 months, or weight of 250 lbs.
