I am living in the city and have a large garden and shed. I am interested in rearing a piglet, fattening it and selling it. What breed of pig would grow the fastest in the shortest period of time? I only have a couple of months for this venture. I am looking for a small breed of pig. Are pigs noisy? Is there any hidden costs apart from feeding? Is it hard to sell pigs in this recession? How much does an average piglet cost?
Thanks for any advice you may have
