You may be right about beef, as I’ve raised less than a thousand, but of all the Freepers, I’ve probably raised more hogs than anyone else, 250,000, so I do know a little.

When you have something intelligent to say, get back to me.
There is very little hogs have in common with cattle, and I've raised both.
Not only that, I cut meat for three years at a major grocery store that worked on volume sales, with a target profit margin of one and a half percent of gross.
