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
