Pigs
Mini Pigs: The Perfect Addition to Your Small Farm
If you already have a small farm or homestead, why not add a pig to the mix? They fit right in with other farm animals such as chickens, goats and cows. The cuteness factor of having a pig waddling around adds a nice touch to your farm, and we know you'll be surprised by how easy it is to raise one of these lovable creatures!
We raise Juliana, Kunekune and micro potbelly pigs here at Broadway Family Farms. These pig breeds are perfect for small farms and make the best pets for families. They are highly social animals and are easy to train when taken the time. These breeds are considered "mini pigs", but don't be surprised when you see how big these pigs get when fully grown!

- Pigs can't sweat. Because pigs lack sweat glands, they must roll in mud and water to keep cool and avoid sunburn.
- Pigs do not pose many health issues, except for the tendency to become overweight if their diet is not controlled carefully.
- Pigs don't require fancy housing - just a warm, covered space to sleep.
- Pigs do best in pairs - consider getting at least two pigs, so they will not be lonely.
