I would raise some hogs,but as large as the healthy ones get, they'd throw my ass around the stall. A sow over 300 lb is a sight. I do learn about the heritage breeds though, the smaller ones found in localized areas across Europe which don't look much larger than a small dog at full size. Those are definitely maneagable, but folks I live with do not agree with some homesteading and self-reliance ideology. No matter, this will be the first season I attempt to raise some kind of poultry. I learn alot from people and as far as bang for buck, and ease of handling, the duck is what I am leaning towards. Seeing their eggs compared to quail kinda sealed it.They already know... the black one bit my fucking ankle today.... trying to feed her and she bit me.... yep.. bacon sammich time lol
@Castle Grown the brown one is the ceremonial pig.... the first football game of the season she will be cooked in the ground..
The black one is our meat hog. She will be grown to 250 the slaughtered for meat. My buddy and i split 1 a year
