>>2795446Getting pigs is easy but getting breeders is getting a bit harder unless you're in the midwest. It really only makes any money sense though if you've got some source of cheap feed.
When I grew up my grandfather always kept a ton of pigs when it was still profitable. For alot of his life he farmed but would sell a load of hogs every month for his walking around momey. He had his own corn crop and the only thing he'd buy is a supplement and in the 90s it became pointless even for him from a money standpoint.
Cows are different though you can make money on that and it's alot less trouble if you have the space for them.
