[QUOTE="Farmhand, post: 90449, member: 1292"] What breed? What weight? How heavy do you want them at harvest? Roughly takes 8 months from birth to finish @ 250 lbs. This will vary depending on breed, feed supply, desired butcher weight. We grind our own feed of shell corn and soybean meal. You would be better off buying bagged feed at the local farm supply. We usually just pick one out when we have a load ready to go to market. Mom gets a couple weaned pigs from us at a time for her butcher meat. She buys bagged feed from Bomgaars and takes them well over 300 lbs. Extra fat = extra flavor. Do you have any hog producers close to you? May be able to buy feed from him. [/QUOTE]
