Welcome to BYH!!

What sort of information are you wanting to know?

 

[brittanymullin]

Well I know nothing about breeding pigs so anything there would be nice. And what good is a fixed nubian goat?

Welcome!

Is your intention to breed a Hampshire boar to a pot belly sow? There is a serious size difference there. I don't know that a pot belly could carry those babies. How long have you had them? How old are they?

A fixed (wethered) nubian is good for brush clearing. And you should consider finding him a friend. Of the goat variety.

 

[brittanymullin]

We have had them about 2 weeks...and I was told I could breed them and it would be fine....

 

[brittanymullin]

How much could I sell the goat for?

How old are they?

 

[brittanymullin]

The sow isn't a year old and the boars I'm not sure

Goat prices depend on a huge variety of factors. Where you are located and the market varies, so I can't say.

Do you have pictures of the pigs?

This was before we put them in their pen
