Are pigs cheap as far as upkeep goes?

I hear rabbits are very easy to raise, very cheap, rarely get diseases. I would consider raising some animals if I lived off-grid, a few chickens perhaps. I'd want something that wouldn't take a lot of time to deal with day-to-day.

Are we talking breeding hogs or just raising for butcher? Yes rabbits are easy and low maintenance

[TheDystopiaInside]

Really just raised to butcher for food, not to sell.

[Kevin Coy]

Hogs are easy keepers and need a strong fence or hot wire they will graze like a cow on grass if allowed.Pound for pound they have a good return on the dollar especially if you do your own processing.

Great color, mamma pig must trust you.

Yes you need to create a working relationship with your livestock so you can handle and help when needed . I was midwife yesterday helping with the birth process several piglets needed some help clearing there faces to take there first breath.
