what do you do with pot belly pigs ?

[jk47]

I know alot of people with pot belly pigs and people on this site with them.
What are they for are they pets or food. Do they taste better then normal feeders or are they pets like dogs are
Im just trying to figure out why there so popular

They are pets. Pigs can be trained much the same way dogs are.

Ah okay that makes sense I can train my feeders to do things so its like a alternative to dogs
Still dont think I would want a pig living in my house

Apparently they are actually clean animals. I've never had one, but I'll stick with my cats and dog.

Food.
IDK why the west needs to make every farm animal into a pet.

When anyone makes a farm animal a pet ... all you have is a money pit !!!

I know I enjoy raising pigs and enjoy being around them but I also enjoy getting a check to pay for them and bacon is really good !

They aren't very good
Too much fat and greasy for my taste

True they always seem to have alot of fat on them. I got it i know what there for lard, I bet you can get a good amount off one
