Subject: Free Range pigs


So I have 40 acres of woods I was thinking about putting pigs in. I just have a couple of questions I was hoping someone could help inform me with. Realistically how many pigs could I raise on this? Because they are free range is the feed bill going to be drastically lower or not necessarily? Will it be worth my time and can I turn a profit? Here is some information about my operation and woodland. The land is secluded so neighbors shouldn't be a problem. I have truck loads of cull tomatoes, beans, sweet corn from our vegetable operation for feed during July, August, sept, oct. but after that I would have to start them on grain. I would also have to buy a shelter and fence off the property. Also, I have been raising 2-10 pigs every year for the past 20 years however I never raised more than 10. Do you guys think this could work or don't waste my time?
