If y'all are raising pigs to sell as feeder pigs then no, registration is not worth it - but a waste of money.

If you are raising pigs to sell as breeders and then information technology might be worth it but might not depending on who's ownership.

We take most 400 pigs on pasture with virtually 50 sows.

Nosotros primarily raise them for selling to our retail accounts (stores and restaurants) whom we deliver to weekly and to individuals looking to put a pig of pork in the freezer as well as some roasters. For this market registration is not worth it at all. Registering would merely increase your toll per pig.

We as well sell some feeder weaner pigs to people wanting to raise their ain, mostly in the spring. For this marketplace registration is non worth it at all. We go $150 to $200 for boar piglets depending on the season and $250 for golden piglets. Breeder quality select piglets are $50 more. Demand is high considering we accept superior genetics.

We too sell some breeder piglets, breeder boars and guaranteed bred gilts. Nosotros don't annals these because we are the source of genetics for over a decade and our pigs are a cross that we have been developing ourselves - in other words, nosotros would be the registry association. I do track all of the lineages but there is nowhere else merely me to register. That saves on the registration cost.

Livestock auctions are the best style for a seller to get the lowest possible price. Instead focus on producing a quality product and marketplace it well. Equally the years pass people will come to know you lot for your quality and yous will be able to get a premium price. Grow slowly and surely.

I strongly recommend NOT buying at livestock auctions because so little is known about the animals, auctions are where the junk gets dumped and they're a bully source of affliction.
