Dude wtf are you doing with all them pigs? I got one early this summer and it has proven to be more than i expected.
I raise them out and sell them, either locally or to market when the prices are good. I have a pretty big compost yard that I keep them in, they help with the composting while getting all the food they want to eat.

Keep it penned, or does it have access to pasture?

Cool, just wondering if it gets a chance to root around. A lot of people don't realize pigs need the minerals in the ground to grow healthy.

Plan on butchering it or is it a pet? Last one we named I almost teared up while eating.

Yeah she gets to root around. Originally got her for butcher but ive grown fond of he. Shes super smart and friendly. Wife says i better get to choppin before i get too attatched. Her name is fancy.

Edit...ive read it isntgood to butcher them too young. Any truth to this and why? Obviously it would be nice to have the extra meat but could i bitchef now if i decided? 4 months old about 100 lbs.

You won't get much for bacon but otherwise it's ok at that age/weight, don't matter much with pigs. Cattle you don't want to butcher too early.
