Of course we will be starting small at first but any comments, suggestions, or advice to share would be greatly appreciated. I also want to add that i am planning to attend a seminar. Thanks.
P.S I'm working hard on my tagalog but i'm not there yet, sorry.
1. Very heavy capital outlay
2. From breeding to market hogs takes around 10 months
3. Dont expect a return on ur investment soon as youll need the profits to expand
4 lots of variables like breeding, feed quality, disease and mortality
5 you need to enjoy what your doing
