I will, but I think I am probably at least a year away. Need to keep researching and build another structure to house the pigs. My "honey do" list has several things in front of the pig pen. :) Next is to research different options for pig pens/barns.

I raise a piglet to 200 to 250 pounds every winter with good results for a homestead farmer. The piglet is put into a square pallet structure with a partial pallet roof covered with a tarp. The floor is 2x6 lumber to keep piglets from digging out. They are fed in the morning before other livestock and if there food disappears the piglet will get a second serving. Late in the day will be a second feeding. Very simple with good success rate.
