Where can I get a baby potbellied pig in North or South Carolina, or in Virginia?

I am moving to rural Vermont in three weeks and am looking for a baby potbellied pig while I am still in North Carolina. The reason: a pig up north costs a lot more than a pig down south. I am willing to travel to Virginia or South Carolina (or any place within a 3 hour driving range). I am specifically looking for a baby pig. Does anyone know of any breeders or where I can find a list of breeders for this area? Thank you in advance!

    beware NOT to buy ones called "TOY" pot belly pigs.. these are often ones stunted through poor nutrition or genetics.. and its freakish what happens to them..

    at a point their outter body stops growing but their insides dont.. you soon have a biggy that has outgrown their body and will die or get very ill and require euthanisia.. this is saddly very common - stay away from these kind of breeders..

    I am in Canada - we often have them for sale at odd and unusual Livestock auctions - ask at your local livestock feed store if they have them in your area... or they might know breeders
