How much land do you use for keeping pigs? Is the financial input(feed etc) balanced by what you make selling excess piglets, pork and do the sales cover the value of the pork you eat? I know the fact that you have raised these pigs and therefore know what's gone into them is a big plus for you. I don't think we will have pigs as we only eat bacon and ham, I think commercially produced fresh pork doesn't taste great and would have to try pork raised like yours before i could make a decision.
