Subject: RE: Feeder hog profit


First 12 years.... not much
After that would be making 60-75k.

I built in 2013 but I'm not your average bear. We had farrowed 80 for a long time and sold 1/2 the feeders, finished the other half. In 97 Dad laid in holsteins and didn't have room to finish anymore so a year later all the sows were gone but we started raising some pigs for me for 4-H. We were farrowing around 15 for club pigs when I was in college but that was a rat race we weren't enjoying anymore so I went to work at a sow unit and Dad sold out. When I came back to the farm, the conversation about building a finisher lasted for about 10 minutes and we mostly talked about location. Never looked back. I love hogs (I'm nuts) and I love my finisher. Hardest part was getting used to taking care of the building more than the hogs a lot of days.
