Keeping breeders without breeding? Or sell?

I started raising Large Black Hogs about a year ago. It was a month after having my daughter and three months after buying our farm. We've had 6 litters and another coming soon. Its been fun, but a lot of work. I also raise quail, chickens, and guineas.

My baby is 11 months and we are now expecting our forth child. I am trying to decide if we should keep our pigs and let them start breeding again next year or just fill our freezers and start completely from scratch when we are ready.

Wondering what you would do? Regardless, we will have lots of piglets for sale if you need some! Keeping breeders without breeding? Or sell? - Pigs

If you feel it is to much for you to handle at this time sale them.
Except 2 nice female piglets for later breeding. To bad your not closer i could use a couple top female piglets.

Best,
Gerold.
