What age do yall breed a pig for the first time? 6 months sound about right? Or is it a size thing?
thank ye Sir!Probably 9 months.
Well they ain't any breed I'd recognize. I'd be trying to find a good boar that's a breed people use to make pork. Hampshire, Duroc, Yorkshire, or Landrace come to mind.Got the pigs. Not sure how I feel about em. lol.
IPP is the male. Red waddle is the female. Almost 6 months old. Good teet count on the red. The ipp looks pretty stout.
Think I need a Ipp female and a red waddle male now. And some cheap feeders.
And I thought Wagyu was outrageously priced...Do you have acorns ??
Iberian or Iberico pigs !
Slow grower but look at the price !! Ive wanted to cross with larger fast grower.
I am getting ready to get piggies. Should be ready soon.

They are the Corriente of the pig world. If you want red pigs and want to make pork, use a Duroc boar.I like the red waddle, she seems very timid. I am not sure what to think about the IPP. It's an ugly little thing but cute at the same time. He seems like a stout little thing though. Definitely no future here as straight breds if they mature at 350.
I'm just learning what a pig looks and sounds like. Still haven't touched one yet.
What kinda boar would yall get for the the red? I though about another red. Then get some feeder pigs of other breeds to try out more common breeds. I'm trying to make money w these things ideally.
Birkshire Is probably the best tasting. Cross your red with that.I like the red waddle, she seems very timid. I am not sure what to think about the IPP.

Pasture pigs with ''no feed'' is like raising unicorns. Sell the program not the product.The breeds you guys mention are the best for fed hogs. I think some like the Red Waddle or Old Spot might be better for pasture pigs with no feed. Im pretty sure he will be selling them hanging weight at a price i can't imagine.
With several products its the program not the product. I might be wrong about clinchvalley86 doing pasture pigs but im betting with his customer base he is thinking about it.Pasture pigs with ''no feed'' is like raising unicorns. Sell the program not the product.
As long as they don't disappear and join their feral cousins...With several products its the program not the product. I might be wrong about clinchvalley86 doing pasture pigs but im betting with his customer base he is thinking about it.
But think of it this way.
He will have very little expense i them if pastured with his cows.
They will root up the cow piles breaking up the fly cycle.
He has the customer base to sell them at 3 times what they would bring otherwise.
Its a win win to have a few.
