Hubby wants to raise a few hogs. Not breed them, just buy weaned pigs and raise them to butcher weight. Not trying to make money on them, just recoup our expenses. One for us and the rest for family/friends, probably 4 total. What would be a good breed or cross? How big a pen needed for 4? Can you buy commercial pig chow in a bag without meds or animal byproducts in it? Is a barrow a castrated boar? Any help from someone who's been there and done that would be appreciated.
