We started raising our own this year, we are picking up a 1/2 hog from the butcher this afternoon, we sold 4 1/2 and got our 1/2 for free and a small profit.
They are easy to raise, and only take 4-5 months to feed out. It's nice to know what they were fed & that they had 0 medications/anti-biotics (only ivermectin 2 times for worms & parasites).
We will be adding some cows this summer, we just need to put up some additional fencing and run water/power.
