Raising Pigs for Better Soil & Even BETTER Bacon

We picked up our two Red Wattle Feeder Pigs from a breeder (Idle River Farms) in June 2018. We paid $80 each for them. They were pasture paddock raised for 6 months where we supplemented organic pig grain, with kitchen and garden waste. Here is a breakdown of our return vs. cost: 2 Piglets $160 Total Feed $560 Processing Fee: $440.00 Hanging weight at butcher: 483 Pounds Total cost: $1160 / 483 Pounds = $2.40 per pound We hope we answered any questions people may have about our experience as fir
