Piglets a normal size?

Hello, I started raising my own hogs last year when I got two that had no mother. This year I bought a bred sow off some dishonest hutterites and she had 15 little ones. After they got colostrum she ran out of milk and did not produce more. They we're born on June 18th and from probably June 22 or so on they we're fed Big Momma F Milk Replacer.
They're now switched to dry feed for a couple weeks and are eating crushed barley. They are landrace yorkshire cross and I'm wondering if they are an appropriate weight and size for their age?
Also what I should be feeding them to get them butcher ready for maybe mid November?
They have access to water and feed 24/7 and are also aloud out into the grass and dirt to forage and what not, actually had to hook up electric fence as they learned to dig a little too well (haha)
Look forward to hearing from you guys/girls!
