Agriculture and Farming Pigs?
Where in Southern Ontario can you find weaner (reputable and healthy) pigs for less than 70 dollars a piece? It seems as though, finding weaner pigs these days around the City of Guelph have become scarce.
Hence the price has risen to above 80 dollars each.
Does anyone know where you can find weaner pigs for around 50 dollars?
(6-8 weeks old is best )
thanks for your help

I live in California and raise weaner pigs every year. I don't know where you can find any there in S. Ontario, but I can tell you that the price of little piggies is on the rise here, and generally in N. America. The days of the $50 piglet may be gone; I get $100 a piece for my 8 to 9 week old quality Duroc pigs- four years ago I got $50 and felt lucky, not anymore. Rising feed costs are the driving pig prices up up.

I agree with the other poster, prices are way higher now than they used to be. Mostly because of rising feed prices, I haven't seen any 50 dollar pigs in a long time...
The same with other animals, there prices are all up too, beef prices are amazingly high. the horse market worse than crashed but is on the rise again.
