I'm considering adding pigs to the homestead this spring. I'm not new to live stock but but I'm a really newbie when it comes to hogs. I found some information at the local co-op but was hoping that there might be some good websites or suggestions for books to read (i.e. pasture / housing requirements, feed & care).
I was also wondering if there were any good resources on breeds, including mature weights and sizes. I've seen big sows used for breeding and the little dwarfs that some folks keep as pets...is there anything in between?
Any advice will be sincerely appreciated. Thanks.
