We have happened upon a pig, not sure what kind it is, but doen't look like anybody is going to claim him, he happened upon our farm and made a home inside our chicken pen with our chickens for a whole day before we found him.

It is a male pig but looks like he's been banded.

my question is, What, when and how often should I worm him? I'm sure I need to get started with this. and do I need to vaccinate him with anything? We will raise him for meat.

If he's going to stay around, (looks like he is) nobody has claimed him and I've asked and nobody has pigs around here, go figure. So he's ours I guess, I've been feeding him pig grower and veggie garden scraps

He's about 2 months maybe 3 not sure, he is here when we first got him about a month ago. he's bigger now.
