Raising hogs summer 2009

We have decide to attempt to raise 2 pigs this year. in the entries to follow I will keep you posted on progress and costs involved.
I am doing these to help with a basic education for others wishing to do the same.
Our money is tight here, but we have found a very kind farmer with pigs out our way. He is selling us the pig for $1 per #.
Tonight I phoned him to verify that we DID want a pig. He strongly recommended getting 2, but the money just was not there. so we are gonna pick a NICE one and they he said he would give us a runt. I dont really LIKE the idea of a runt. everything you read advises staying away from them. However we are going to attempt to do it.
We will pick them up this sunday. I will enter more information as I get it.
