I raise a couple now and then and the feed you describe is what I use. I grind some corn, add some soybean meal and buy a mineral mix made for pigs. Last pigs we raised were bought in end of May and butchered in November at about 300 lbs. I kept them in a pen with some straw for bedding and just let them eat and grow. They need a way to stay out direct sun and the bad elements but they love mud. Pigs don't sweet so they roll around in mud to stay cool.

I like to feed them mostly grain mixtures but supplement it with the garden stuff. They are easy to grow.
