I would like to know if you can butcher and eat pot belly pigs. They are cheaper then other pigs and being single mom of 4 little ones we need to buy cheap. Please let me know what you think. I was told that for every 40 pounds they weight you will get 10 pounds of meat or something is that true. I just need some meat for us to stock up on winter and this is what i was thinking of doing.
they said it would not be enough meat to mess with but I don’t know for sure I don’t even know if they would taste the same as other pigs do.
I am not going to do it myself there is place here by me that does it for cheap because it is a school that teaches people how to kill animals so they do it cheap because it helps teach the people how to do it.
I am not going to be doing it. I am hiring someone to butcher for me. I just needed to know if you can butcher them because I know they are smaller I just did not know for sure if it would work with them or not.

we rescued a little bitty pot belly pig recently.she is such a little sweet heart. she was shy at first but is comming out of her shell.we havent had her very long.maybe a month or so..
we noticed the other day she has quite a big belly. it is almost touching the ground. she did not look like that when we took her in,tho.
im thinking she may be going to have babies.(we do not have any other pigs,so she must have been bred when we got her).. any advice from experiance would be great. any helpful tips.we have been doing some research on line,but nothing beats experience
thanks.
