Raising Pigs

[Rachel's Hobby Farm]

We are wanting to start a small hobby farm at our new house. I am wanting to raise Vienamise Pot Bellied, or Spotted Swine. We are getting pigs for 4H. So, here come the questions... how big of an area do you need for lets say about 4 goats, 1 male and 3 females? What do they eat? I also need to know about breeding and raising them. Also, how to pick "show quality" or breeding swine.

Thank you!

Goats or pigs?

I can't help you with the pigs, pigs on my farm are not pets. I do pasture mine, though. Do you want bare minimums or exactly what are you looking for?

Sorry about that!
I am looking for bare minimums. We are hoping to get at LEAST 10 acres.
What do they eat?

ETA: I am interested in KuneKune Swine now.
