About Esther
Esther was born at a commercial pig farm on June 1, 2012. In 2012, Esther was sold mistakenly as a
miniature pig to her new owners, Steve Jenkins and Derek Walter. In the following two years, Esther
unexpectedly grew to a weight of 600 pounds, which is far greater than the typical weight of a miniature
pig.
Due to her surprisingly large size she earned the nickname "The Wonder Pig"!
In 2018, the owners raised money for a CT scanner big enough to scan Esther. Later in 2018, Esther was
diagnosed with breast cancer and stomach ulcer.
