Feeder pigs are young pigs, typically weighing between 40 and 80 pounds, that are raised primarily to be finished for market weight. Farmers purchase feeder pigs to grow them out efficiently for meat production rather than breeding. Selected for good health, solid frames, and rapid growth potential, feeders are a key part of the pork production cycle.

Feeders can be purebred or crossbred and are valued for their ability to convert feed into lean muscle quickly. Their early care and nutrition are critical to ensuring strong growth rates, quality carcasses, and efficient finishing in either pasture or confinement systems.
