what do you do with pot belly pigs ?

I don't feed mine to be lard arses, lol, they've tasted like regular ol pork to us.
I love bacon too much to hassle with their tiny bacon strips, lol.

Okay, as the name says, they are pigs first and foremost. They were originally bred as food for places that have little room or resources, thus the smaller size. A PBP is only greasy if you let them get too fat, and they taste as good as any other pig does. It all depends on what you feed them and how you manage them. The United States is the only country in the world that has made them into pets. Most people don't eat their breeders and it's okay to make those into pets if you want because you will have them for several years, but you can treat PBPs offspring like you would full sized pigs and raise them to be food. We can't make every animal into a pet. We have a litter of 4 we are getting ready to process in about November, and yeah they're cute and all, but we haven't gotten attached. Just like all animals we raise to be food we don't feel guilty about that fact because we know that our animals have lived a much better life in the sunshine everyday and have been fed and cared for better than if they were commercially grown. A commercial animal is a living, breathing animal that isn't any less adorable or have less of an individual personality than the ones you raise, so why feel guilty about your raising them to be eaten? Just saying....
