I am in the process of getting one of our pens/barns set up for some pigs. Just curious if anyone on here has any family/friends that are pig farmers and might sell me 3-4 relatively cheap.

Or better yet, GIVE them to me?

10/5/2009 11:46:35 AM

10/5/2009 11:54:19 AM

I learned to never trust a man that keeps pigs from Brick Top.

10/5/2009 11:56:24 AM

10/5/2009 11:57:22 AM

10/5/2009 12:12:34 PM

its all fun and games till the escape artists get out and root up your yard



true story

10/5/2009 12:15:50 PM

that's where the electric fence comes into play

10/5/2009 12:17:45 PM

It's all fun and games until one of them knocks you down and breaks your hip.
Or they kill you.
True story.

10/5/2009 12:24:07 PM

that's what the cattle prod is for

10/5/2009 12:30:47 PM

Pigs are supposed to be as intelligent as dogs. It shouldn't be too hard to make them docile, if you treat them right.

Unless you're planning to eat them. Supposedly the meat tastes better if you keep them in a calm relaxed environment, but it probably doesn't matter how nice you are to them otherwise.

10/5/2009 12:33:14 PM

not going to eat them, just keeping them as pets.

10/5/2009 12:36:11 PM

I LOVE PIGS

djeternal is now on my list of top 5 posters for wanting pet pigs <3333333333

10/5/2009 12:37:43 PM

well the neighbors who share a fence with us have chickens, goats, sheep, a mini horse, and a mini donkey. i figure it would round out the farm if we get pigs, and as a trade-off my GF gets to get a cow.

10/5/2009 12:38:44 PM

allowing a cow only helps your standing

10/5/2009 12:51:33 PM

get some pot-bellied pigs. They look awesome. , and supposedly real smart too.

10/5/2009 12:53:40 PM

Yeah, pot belly pigs are really cool. My elementary school class had one, it was awesome.

10/5/2009 1:16:52 PM

looking to get at least 3, and leaning toward potbellies.

10/5/2009 1:51:56 PM

you best eat them bitches. mmmm bacon mmmm

10/5/2009 1:52:41 PM

if one of them should happen to have an unfortunate accident, i.e. get in the way of one of my bullets when i am shooting out in the yard, then yes i will eat it.

10/5/2009 1:53:41 PM

just throw some doughnuts out there and they should come a runnin

Sewer rat might taste like pumpkin pie, but I'll never know because I won't eat any of the dirty motherfuckers.

you wanting pet pigs (guinea) or food pigs? If food there is a slaughter house in Siler City you can get them for cheap, particularly if you're wanting to raise them from a young state.
