[QUOTE="mwj, post: 1075911, member: 491"] How much is the commercial feed cost to produce a good butcher weight hog? Are there any feed-mills nearby that grind and mix bulk hog-feed? If you want quality it will cost you some cash. If you just want to pay the least just buy the sale pork at the cheapest place you can find! Run some cost figures before you get the pigs so you will have some idea what the most expensive option is. Then start adding some of your cheaper stuff to the mix and bring down the feed cost as you can within reason. Do not think you can buy a couple of pigs and feed them on grass hay, stale bread, and dirty water and make any money. When you are asking why your 6month old 80 pound pig is not butcher size like his litter mates it is not going to be a good answer. [/QUOTE]
