π₯ WHY PIG FARMING IS A BOOM π₯
That "boom" is exactly why pig farming is often called a "LIVING SAVINGS ACCOUNT."

οΈ You start with a manageable handful, and because of their unique biology, your inventory can quadruple in a single year.
However, that "wild" growth is a double-edged sword. Here is a breakdown of why it happens and what to watch out for as those 4 to 5 pigs start multiplying.
βοΈ The "Multiplier Effect"
Pigs are among the most prolific livestock on the planet. Here is the math that leads to that "boom":
β’ Short Gestation: A sow is pregnant for only 3 months, 3 weeks, and 3 days.
β’ Large Litters: A healthy sow can easily produce 8 to 12 piglets per litter.
β’ Quick Turnaround: You can often get two litters per year from a single sow.
π’ The Math: If you start with 4 sows and 1 boar, and each sow delivers 10 piglets twice a year, you go from 5 pigs to 85 pigs in just 12 months.
