Hansel & Greg are growing well.  Dan's dad came out recently and helped Dan build a shelter inside the lean-to for the hogs.  Just a windbreak-type thing, but enough to give them a cozy place to snuggle into the straw at night.  We are keeping half a hog for our freezer and have sold the other half, but still have a whole or two halves to sell.  I really don't know where we are on pricing yet, since this is our first time raising hogs; but we should have a good idea closer to processing at the beginning of December.  The hogs have had a very large pen to run around in, and everyday they have had a combination of garden leftovers in addition to their mash.  Tomatoes have been their favorite!  They also like pears, apples & nuts.
