I raised 4 hogs this year. My total cost, including purchase of the hogs in the spring, and the feed ended up at $.72 per lb. They grew to an average of 255 lbs each. Sold 3 of them to friends for $.95 per lb live weight. They paid for processing. They were happy to pay it, BTW. Said the meat tasted MUCH better than the factory hog house meat.
I get my feed custom made in 500 or 1000 lb batches at a local elevator. They use a recipe from Kent feeds for hog production. I can share the recipe if interested. Ends up being quite a bit cheaper than buying swine feed at the local farm store. I also feed any fruit and vegetables I can get. Last year they got a lot of pumpkins. Harvest this year was not very good so they got none.
Buying 4, selling 3 made my hog free to me (except for the processing). I don't do it for the money, would go broke fast. I do it to give better quality meat for my family and my friends.
