How many pigs on how much woods? Do you have to feed them anything?

Trying to get cheap pig feed without using corn or soy will be very tough.
There are substitutes but all are neolithic.

How about an oats and molasses mix? Rolled oats are fairly high protein, and
the molasses adds energy.

Fish meal is another possibility, but a bit expensive.

A compromise may be oats and corn, with a bit of fish meal to up the
protein.

Can you find a source of spoiled fruit and vegetables? Maybe a large market?
