I am raising a couple pigs and I want to make Bacon.  Anyone have an idea how large i should let them get before I butcher them?  They are Chester White hogs.  I was thinking about butchering them at 7 months.  They will be around 300lbs at that time.

Thoughts?
 
Thanks for the quick responces,  Looks like 4 months to 1 year is the time frame.  They are about 4 months old right now and I am betting they are every bit of 200lbs.  They wont hold still so i can measure them.
