So, I might be the last one to figure this out but I did hogs through the winter this year and it was a big success. I'll never do them through the summer again. I had no smell to deal with, I got 312 lbs of meat for $440 and other then the inconvenience of ice in the water, I had no issues with keeping them warm or anything. This next fall, the pigs will be put in the harvested garden (it has an electric fence to keep deer out anyways) and with the root veggies I'll be planting for them, I'm hoping to save even more in the way of pig feed. Free tilling and fertilizer will be a few other benefits. Anyone else try them in winter?
