Yeah, I talked to my buddy today he told me I should definately do two for basically the reasons you guys listed....And he'll give me a better deal on them.. Have some spare time so going to start working on the pen today
How do you pasture them? Are they tame and come when called? What sort of fence do you need, and how big of a pasutre?SSDreamin said:Yes, several of us on here raise pigs. I would recommend talking to your friend who breeds them for ideas. They would know what works best for your area
As for us, we pasture raise ours, as much as possible. When that can't be done, we feed chop with lots of additions. Our pig girls have a nice sized hutch, L shaped for wind protection, piled high with straw. We were told to always have a minimum of 2 here, as they like companionship and will help each other stay warm during our cold months.
