Different breed...About 20 years ago we raised pigs. Different breeds but we did have a few of the spotted pigs.<br />They were free range pigs. We had over 200 sometimes and they had 50 acres to roam on. They did not smell bad either, like people think. Actually they are a clean animal when they have access to water and land.<br />My boys were young and enjoyed raising the pigs and even were in the school 4H program to show pigs. <br />Then the market for pigs changed and so did the prices little farmers received on their selling price. Big companies took over(through the gov.) and the little folks were put out of pig raising in Georgia.<br />But, we are thinking of getting a couple of pigs soon here. They really are great to have around. I am sure it will be like all these other animals. They will become pets instead of food.<br />Great post.<br /><br />Have a great day.<br />PamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
