North West IA/western AZ | I started out farrow to finish with 18 crates and 3 groups of sows. I don't remember producing much more than 250 hogs per year. It's been 40 or more years ago so I may be off but you shouldn't plan on producing 10 pigs per litter.
Will you have time to tend to all the work involved with bedding? Slats are a big time saver. Do you have a place to put the manure that these pigs will produce?
I would bet there will be some kind of distance requirement between your hog building and the slaughtering plant. | |
