Pigs and goats....

[KareyABohr]

Has anyone raised feeder pigs with goats? I have raised feeder pigs with bucket calves for years, but I was wondering if anyone ever used pigs for compost with goats.
I have boar goats and want to raise Mulefoot hogs. They are a medium size and known for their quiet non agressive nature. Any advice would be appreciated!

I don't know about goats and pigs but I was told to not put pigs in with alpacas due to salmonella and some other diseases. I was told to not even let them be on the same fence line to sniff noses. You won't have to worry about airborne diseases though.

I raised 2 feeder pigs and my old spot gilt with my goats. They do fine together. I separated my pregnant doe when she was due and waited till the little ones were 2 weeks old to put them back together. I kept one of those kids and he will even sleep on top of my old spot.

Thank you!
This is kind of what I was hoping for!
It is amazing how well animals can get along when you let them act naturally!
