Anyone got feeder pigs coming soon? I'll be getting 12 in a couple weeks, looking for pics, I will post some when they get here

You raise 12 at a time?

How much land do you have? Pasture raising them or penning them up?

I love hearing how others do it. I have never done more than three at a time

No, the pasture is for our cattle, I have a pretty sizable old feedlot behind my old dairy barn, I raise em on concrete, Not really fancy but better than confinement in my opinion. I have another concrete lot east of the barn I usually feed out 6 at a time in, I generally do 6 twice a year, gonna try two groups of 12 this year, 12 spring pigs then 12 fall pigs.

Here's piglets galore:

We raise ours on pasture using managed rotational grazing. By moving them, just like with sheep, goats and cattle, one gets a lot more food value from the land and the forages and soils improve with time.
