Raising Pigs For Meat: Your Pig Farming Questions Answered
After my last video where I showed you how I went and bought a hog to raise for meat I got a lot of questions. In this video I answer 4 of the questions I got the most. How much did I pay for the baby hog? How big will this pig get? Why don’t I raise beef? And, what’s the difference between a pot belly pet pig and a meat hog pig? Raising your own hog for meat is not that hard and doesn’t take as much room as you think on your homestead. You’ll know that the pig had a good life and the meat you get won’t be loaded with chemicals. You don’t have to feed your family meat from the industrial food system, you can raise your own meat!

note that Hogs take about 6 to 8 months to feed out esp on commercial feed. Since you want more meat and less lard then no slop and very little carbs. pelletized feed is best. They eat from 2 to 5 lbs per day. I raise heritage hogs Red Wattles. Commercial mixed breed pigs take lass time to feed out than a pastured or heritage pig that roots out its food and is fed other things.

Hogs, other than pot bellied pigs, which aren't hogs, and not good to eat from what I understand, will get well over 1000 pounds. This is not a 'cute and cuddly' animal. It is also omnivorous, and would eat you with no problem.
Even a hog 200 or 300 pounds can easily bite through a 4x4.
If you want to defend hogs, learn what is going on. If people did not eat them, they would be extinct, or at the very least, endangered and in zoos.
They exist in their present form for food. Raising them in an environment such as this is the best they can hope for, unless you free range them which is not widely practiced, as they can be quite destructive and mean.
Pigs raised this way are also much healthier for you than one raised commercially for the grocery store. Confinement hogs have shots of one kind or another every day, e-v-e-r-y day.
Raised in confinement, if they touch the ground they are destroyed and the carcass incinerated.
Kudos for you Becky. You are doing yourself and the pig a huge favor. -
Becky I really like your videos because you can really pinpoint the questions starters have; and that makes your videos more useful. I hope you can do a video on raising a cow, even if you don't personally do that. Pork is good but beef is the what's for dinner for most people.

She sounds oddly happy, talking about killing intelligent animals.

To paraphrase; If God didn't want us to eat pig, why did he make bacon so delicious!?! :)
