Ready to raise your own nutrient-dense, high-quality pork while building a profitable small farm business? Pig farming is one of the most accessible and rewarding livestock ventures—ideal for homesteaders, regenerative farmers, and direct-market meat producers. Pigs are intelligent, fast-growing, and excellent at turning scraps, forage, and pasture into premium meat with minimal infrastructure.
In this comprehensive beginner’s guide, you’ll learn everything you need to start your own pig farming operation, from choosing the right breed and designing humane housing to feeding, breeding, and getting your pork to market.
✅ What You’ll Learn in This Video:
Best pig breeds for beginners:
– Meat-focused: Berkshire, Duroc, Yorkshire, Hampshire
– Pasture-raised: Gloucestershire Old Spot, Tamworth, Large Black
– Miniature: For pets or small spaces (Juliana, Kunekune)
Housing & fencing essentials:
– Secure, sturdy fencing (pigs are escape artists!)
– Simple shelters with dry bedding (deep litter or hoop houses)
– Mud management & rotational grazing systems
Feeding strategies:
– Commercial feed vs. pasture + supplemental grains
– Food waste (check local laws—some regions restrict swill feeding)
– Critical minerals & vitamins (no copper for some breeds!)
Breeding basics:
– Sows reach maturity at 6–8 months
– Gestation: 3 months, 3 weeks, 3 days (114 days)
– Farrowing pens & piglet care (heat lamps, creep feed)
Health & common issues:
– Parasite control (worming, pasture rotation)
– Hoof care, vaccinations, and biosecurity
Processing & marketing:
– On-farm slaughter (where legal) or USDA-inspected facilities
– Selling whole/half hogs, CSAs, farmers markets, or restaurants
– Premium pricing for pasture-raised, heritage-breed pork
Bonus: Pigs as land renovators—they clear brush, till soil, and fertilize naturally!
Pigs grow fast (250–280 lbs in 6–8 months) and offer one of the highest returns per animal in small-scale livestock farming.
