I am wanting to get a couple of pigs to raise for the freezer. But my only hold back is the smell because my neighbors are fairly close so I have to consider them first. I've seen videos on you tube about making pens that produces no smell. They show the pens-clean, and the pigs are clean but they don't tell how to make the pen or what is used to control smell. I'm new to pig raising and this forum so any help will be appreciated. I live in southeast Mississippi so it's hot and humid in the summer and I know that would play into the smell. Thanks for any help.

Pigs are clean animals. They will pick a spot to go away from where they sleep, so with only 2 it is easy enough to keep shoveled up. They role in the mud but that don't stink, just makes them look bad. When you get a lot of hogs in a small space without proper manure management that's when they start stinking. You don't need a lot of space for two pigs.

I don't have pigs, but have heard they don't smell bad if you only have a couple and you keep up with them. Good luck. Let us know how t goes.
