Nice, I have heard that pigs are quite clean animals if they have a run to poo in, or else they make a lot of mess. The pigs that my grandfather keep never leaves the barn and he has to work the poo out every day or two so it's a lot of work. And he keeps 3 generations of 3 pigs in circulation. Let say we slaughtered 3 few weeks back and one is for us second for himself and one for another family, the next 3 will be slaughtered in 6 months time or so but he will get babies in spring to keep the system going all year round. In this manner we never run out of pork for the table 3 families.
just to add he is 75 years old and has chikens, work a tractor with no power steering and helps me out in my building projects. I guess there is something good in keeping pigs discipline for sure. When he retires from it I will be very tempted to have a go myself, but now is looks like loads of messy work.
