Did you know that 150-pound pigs need 7.5 square feet of living space and not 7.0 square feet?
Keep in mind that the below quote is from the meat industry.
"The financial team can help dispel many production fallacies that pork producers face. Pounds of pork produced per square foot of building space is often thought of as the ultimate barometer of pig efficiency. This legitimizes overcrowding.
But Hargis says when looking at cost control, net revenue per pig is king, and that is achieved by providing most finishers with 7.5 sq. ft./pig, not 7 sq. ft./pig."

My family's total weight is 600 pounds. So we will live in this new house with room to spare.
By the way, my family is accepting donations of Beano.
