You will get so tired of taking care of them you will be happy to put a bullet between the eyes.

I'm raising a couple, but mine are of the wild variety.

I loved raising 4 or 5 at a time. They are so smart and always farked with me when I went in to clean their pen. Kinda got attached to them and our dog, Smokey loved those piggys. I can still ,to this day, say "where's the pigs?" and she will run over to the pin and wine looking for the pigs. Best pork I ever had. Lots of poop....but well worth it. imho. Enjoy them. They're awesome animals. they are so smart and a joy to raise.

Kinda reminds me of when my folks owned Wilson Swine Producers back in the 70's and early 80's. We had 7 different farms and raised a bunch of hogs. I miss when we dried the sausage and salt cured the country hams. I don't miss helping clean out the houses on a hot summer day though!!!

My wife would have them named and they would be pets within five minutes. They would die of old age and never hit the pit.
