Raising a pig for meat is easy to do, even in a small space like a
suburban backyard. In just five months, a 30-pound shoat will become a
250-pound hog and provide you with more than 100 pounds of pork,
including tenderloin, ham, ribs, bacon, sausage, and more. Homegrown
Pork covers everything you need to know to raise your own pig, from
selecting a breed to feeding, housing, fencing, health care, and humane
processing. Invite all your friends over for a healthy and succulent
pork dinner!
