The last pigs we raised (3) went everywhere and due to the heavy rains mixed it into a fine ooze in the outside pen. They also bit me more than once, but they made up for it when we ate the most delicious ham, bacon, chops and baby back ribs to die for.

Homegrown pork is way better than store-bought. Although the female we raised became a brood sow for a local farmer, we did raise a male that we butchered and he was really good. What with all the contaminated feed, I'm wondering if maybe we should go back to that - but you'd still have to buy some feed.
