I've raised hogs for a few years now. 40-50 lbs. is a good starting weight but it takes more like 16 week to get to buthering weight on corn and supplements. I usually go with a 4 parts corn to 1 part supplement which gives you around 15% protein.When I back figure my usage I have about 6 bushels of corn per hog. Raised on concrete I'll put anywhere from 3 to 8 in my pens that are 6 feet by 20 and have no problems. I do try to fork out the pens once a week when I have more in the pens. I've named my pigs if they are unusual and so have my kids, but we all started with the idea they a food just like cupcakes (sounds cute but they're good to eat). Make sure you get them vaccinated most sale house or farms selling feeder will have the vaccines for the problem in your area. We have a few auction barns around, I can pick up feeder for around $25.00 to $35.00 each with thier shots.
