Profits From Pig Raising Compared With Cow Produce
A Scottish Journal of Agriculture summary argues pigs outproduce cows in a year. One sow can yield about 16 piglets annually, averaging nine months to slaughter, total carcass weight around 3360 pounds, versus a single calf from a cow. Three breeding sows cost the same as one cow, and pigs reproduce at high rates, with sows capable of first litters at 12 months.
