Pigs are cute, smart and smelly. Study different breeds to determine what you want to grow and why. Pigs must be moved at least weekly to prevent permanent damage to your land. They don’t do well in heat, so need shelter, shade and a place to wallow in the cool mud. They can be raised on marginal land and will eat just about anything, so can be good for clearing some brush. Beginners can purchase feeder pigs from 40 to 80 pounds from local farmers and raise them to 300 pounds or so. They will likely require vaccinations.
