About Prize Pigs:





To upgrade each pig you’ll need to feed it Hog Chow:
2 tends
5 tends
10 tends
15 tends (fully grown Prized Pig)

How to Make Hog Chow:



The Pig Manager (accessed by clicking on the Pig Pavilion) where you can see all of the Prize Pigs you’re currently feeding (“My Pigs”), requests from your neighbors to feed their pigs (“Requests) and the Prized Pigs you’ve already weighed (“Legacy Pigs”):



  • When a friend asks you for help, go to the Requests tab in the Pig Manager (shown above) and then place the Prized Pig to complete the process!
  • You can have up to 10 Prized Pigs growing or waiting to be weighed in on your homestead at the same time.
  • Up to 5 of these can be ones you start yourself, the others can be from your friends!
  • If your friend has accepted your request for a particular pig, click on their portrait over the Prized Pig on your Homestead to post a reminder. It will also give them some *FREE* Hog Chow!


To weigh your pig you can wait 7 days or fully feed it 32 times (fewer times if you get a neighbor to help):





You and your friend both get the rewards, and both get to keep the pigs as tendable animals after you weigh them in!
