[QUOTE="Alberta farmer, post: 629996, member: 8978"] I'm no "pig expert" but live close to a hog barn. One time the neighbor gave my kids a couple of runts. In a modern pig barn, pigs that can't cut the mustard with their pen mates are nothing but a nuisance and usually get knocked on the head. Anyway we kept them for about two years and just fed them finely rolled barley and scraps and vegetables out of the garden. They also kind of liked a few handfulls of second cut alphalfa! They lived outside in an open cattle shed with a big round straw bale rolled in once in awhile. They drank out of the cattle waterer by getting up on their hind legs. Finally I loaded them up and sold them and they weighed 530 lbs and 486 lbs! They were nice pets but had become escape artists once too often! There was a whole lot of wailing from my kids...although they sure did appreciate the money they got for them! [/QUOTE]
