Just wondering

Post by bingosgirl » Mon Mar 03, 2008 9:15 pm

About how much does it cost to get a sow who will throw half-way desent pigs?
Who do you think makes more, the boar or sow?
Which one is more worth-while, boar or sow?
Which is easier to keep? The boar with good fencing or the sow with having to give birth?

I was just curios. Thank you sooo much!!!!!!

well depends on how good a boar you have and how many people you know that you can sell semen to off it. For just the average person it would be a better idea to get a good sow and breed it well and sell the pigs you would make more money that way than selling semen off a boar.
