“I’ve been told by one friend who went on a feral hog hunt that there’s very little if any edible meat on them because it’s mostly/all sinew so the hogs are killed and left to rot.
I’ve also been told the feral hogs are very aggressive so I’m curious to know how farming and fattening these hogs for fresh pork is profitable?”
Unless you have a young sow most of the meat on feral hogs is not to our taste. Sometimes a small market for it in Europe but don’t think it is happening right now. You can capture them live and feed them out on corn etc. for 6 weeks or so and get acceptable meat, they will revert to a semi-domesticated state/attitude quickly. Chance of making money doing that depends on price of pork, feed and gov regulations. Right now I don’t think it pays. I see lots of used hog traps for sale and no big bunch’s of traps at farm stores for sale. Central and South Texas area.
