some one will give exactly, but a shoat is pig--

i think a female,(sow) who has not yet been bred-- so full grown, but not yet proven to be a good breeder.. (or it could be a pig under 1 year in age... again, bigger than a piglet, but not what ever you call a full grown pig! )

we did have a thread about animal 'names' like chick, pullet, hen, and the same for pigs, and cattle,ie., calf, cow/bull, steer, oxen..so you could search here....
