for the length of time they will be around if you are talking about for the
pot you will be fine. Give them things to do -AOL cds, hanging veggies some
litter etc to scratch around in and there should be few disagreements before
you cull at around 18 weeks.
Much later than that and you start getting into a different quality of
meat - toucher, gamier, stringier etc
Good luck
