Big
Boar is owned by Eden Natural Pork Producers Dave and
Karen Toot, on a farm outside of Des Moines, IA. Dave
didn't have the heart to send the boar to market when
he didn't win top weight in the 2004 Iowa State Fair,
so he took him back home for another year. He did, however,
win the following year, with a whopping weigh in of
1088 pounds. Today, Big Boar has won the right to retire
in free range luxury, all the way into the wee years
of old age.
