Chillin' with the herd
According to Storey, page 81 in the 2009, from 40lbs to slaughter weight, a pig will eat 650-750lbs commercial feed. I pay $8.75 per 50lb bag (no tax), so that's $113.75-$131.25 each, plus however much it takes to get them to 40lbs. I can save 10 a bag if I buy it 500lbs at a time. (I live in AL, but buy my feed in FL. I usually take my van to FL, or my mom comes up, neither of us can haul 500lbs at a time, so I'm stuck at 8.75 a bag until I need to take my truck down.)
