Well, I haven't played a game since 1990's Doom, and I own 20 pigs.

Dang bro, how many acres are you on? Are those breeders?

LOL. I live on a farm. Some are breeders and others are processed for meat. Also have cows and chickens. #homestead

I have 2 gilts, a sow and a boar coming this month on 27 acres, so I was just curious how many acres you need with that. My sow had 13 babies last time around so I'm hopefully I'll have ~30 babies this time around and be able to sell one of the gilts to replace with one from this round

We use less than 2 acres for all the pigs, but we supplement their grazing with feed. Most of our acreage is for cows.

Really? Wow, do you rotate and sow behind them or they're just on that acreage full time?

Two sows cordoned off by electric fence.

Oh gotcha, so you don't rotate them? What kinda meds do they need

None. No meds.

Interesting, I thought pigs would get wormy without meds if they're not rotatating. Do you give them pumpkin or some sort of worm prevention like garlic?

So far, no need.

Nice, are you in a dry area? Here in Missouri, parasite load is high.
