I have seen 2 topics about raising pot bellied pigs here and I've looked at both. I'm about to get 5 of these guys in about 2 weeks. Two sows, one boar and a couple of young-uns. My questions come from the need for right now penning them verses pasturing them (I have to set up a pasture for them so they are going to be penned for now). About how much feed per pig, what would be the best feed if you need to pen them. When would it be good to swap out your sows?
