What to consider before raising a pig
There are several things that need to be checked on before a decision can be made about raising a pig in your back yard. First, check with your city’s code compliance to make sure that you won’t be violating any type of zoning codes by raising a pig in your back yard. Second, read up on the types of shelters that pigs require and how much space they will actually need to move around in without being hemmed in. Third, begin researching on vendors in your area and find out which ones are reputable and which ones aren’t so reputable. Find a veterinarian in your area that has experience working with pigs and ask them what type of early maintenance needs to be done after the actual purchase. Fourth, find a good feed store and do some research on the type of food and supplements will be needed to keep your pig hearty and healthy.
