Hi, we are joining the 4H and are getting three piglets. My hubby wants to know down to the penny (or as close as I can get ) how much it will cost to feed them.
I will be giving them all our kitchen scraps but the bulk of their feed will be store bought so how much does it cost on average to raise a pig from little to about 200 lbs?
Oh, and thats another question for y'all, whats the best size to slaughter at? I can handle 200 lbs with no problem and with the engine hoist can even go bigger but dont want tough meat.
This is all so much fun and we havnt even gotten the pigs yet LOL.
