I love raising pigs! We have three at the moment. One is a giant pain and feels the need to push me towards the feed dish. He's very gentle about it but not very patient, lol

Yeah it doesn't work well with pigs to not have a good setup going in. I hear about people who have pigs escaping all the time... Ours never have, except once a piglet got out and into another fence but that was our fault.

Definitely get the pen and shelter built before you get pigs. You don't want to see the money you just spent on a pig to escape and run off.

Often they don't leave, they just root up everything along their path! Mine were fine until I moved them to another area of the farm. I thought it was bigger & better, they didn't want to leave their original pen, apparently. Yeah, been there since only a couple months old BUT, they needed more room to raise the babies that will be arriving in the next 10-14 days.
They found 2 places they were able to push out and came back up where they had been....rascals!! They walk right back with me & into their new area. Always come when I call them. Rosie & Tiny are quite docile but, 200 # of determination is a real challenge for some things. VERY smart animals. Actually very clean, not what some consider of a pig. Boy can they dig.
