Thinking getting some pigs to rear for freezer (2 as i know they like company). Wondering what I need to do in order to rear a pig in my back garden (living in the country and have quiet a bit of space). Remember my parents doing this years ago and meat was fabulous and lasting nearly all winter in the freezer.
Need to know
- are they difficult to keep?
- what exactly would i feed them and do i need to be there everyday?
- how long before they are ready to kill?
- do they also need indoor accomodation?
- where would i get one (living in Co Cork)?, best type etc
Have done loads of potatoes, veg, fruit bushes in the past few years. Have planted apple, plum, pear trees this year also and am interested in getting some pigs or maybe a few lambs (or a few chickens)
