Im confident I can not make a fraction of that where Im at. Pasture pigs do not pay here. I have to compete with the commercial market and that leaves me about $100 profit per pig if I sell on the hoof. I might be able to jump that up to $200-300 if I have a processor process it and can find buyers for said cuts. But it feels like from feeling the market here in central PA I wouldnt sell much that route. So easier to just find buyers for whole hogs and deliver them to the butcher and be done with it. Of course my feed cost per pig is also only about $100.00 so as you said markets vary. I put $100 in and pull a gross of $200 out.

@SheratonParkFarms Hi, I’m subbed with all notifications on!!! I am in high school, and in agriculture and FFA (Future Farmers of America), and I am gonna be raising a pig and entering it into the fair this year!!! I was just curious about a few things! One, what kind of breed is the best and easiest to control and take care of and work with when I have to use whips and train in for the fair and stuff??? FYI, the pig will be raised from baby to adult, and it will shown in the fair ring, and then be sold in the fair for meat! Two, how much is feed per year, or per month? Also, where do you recommend I buy the cheapest tools and stuff for it, ie. whips, troughs for food and water, sunscreen (cuz I’m in AZ and pigs get sunburned), etc. where is the cheapest place you recommend I should order or buy that stuff from, and should that be online or in person store??? And where can I get the cheapest food? Also, is there certain home garden grown veggies they can eat, if so, what kinds??? Also, what kind of breed is that pig that you have in the beginning that has a pink belly, and pink feet, is light brown, and has a whole lot of brown/black spots (the one that has more spots than the other), what kind of breed is that? Also, would that pig breed be good to raise and work with to show in fair and sell for meat??? Please lemme know anything!!! Thank you so much!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
