Raising pastured pigs can be a fantastic way to put some meat on the table, and even have some product to sell your local community. But raising pigs isn’t right for every homestead.

Should you raise pastured pigs on your homestead? What will it cost you to raise pastured pork? How much work are pigs? That is what we are going to help you answer in this episode of Homesteady.

Pigs are my favorite animal to raise on the homestead. They are smart, generally friendly, resilient, and when they are finished and in the freezer they create some of the best pastured meat you can get!

But pigs also require good infrastructure, good fencing, a constant supply of food and water, and the ability to be transferred and processed.

Should you bring them on to your farm or homestead? Join Accountant Mike and Aust as they breakdown owning pigs for meat, and see if it would be right for you in this episode of Homesteady.
