So for two piglets (cut), to raise for a summer (may thru october ideally) what is good ? Not looking to have to winter them over, that's why I got the Highland cattle, they require very little in the winter, actually more work in the summer.

I should think a pen 100x80 would give them lots to do if there are trees and shrubs... if they are entertained then get into less trouble... I know others who have pigs crammed into an 8ish by 16ish box which I wouldn't stand for but if you have the room I try and think in the most humane way and we like to grow ours in as natural a fashion as we can.
there are a couple of pictures on our web site I think in my title

cheers

We have a 36 x 24 foot pen. For our 4 pigs it is enough room, but not smell wise. I wish that we did have the ability as Liz does with her set up to pasture raise them as I believe what she says to be true. If they had more space, we would not smell anything.
