Pigs
High-value livestock for ambitious ranchers
Pigs are the high-value option — costlier and more demanding than starter animals, but a strong payday for ranchers who plan ahead.
Pigs are for the ambitious rancher chasing a bigger payday. They typically cost more up front and ask for more space and care than starter animals, but the returns suit a player who plans ahead and has the income to invest.
Note: the exact animal roster and what each animal produces are still being confirmed for Early Access. We mark this as expected and will update with specifics from the live build.
Why raise pigs?
When you’ve outgrown cheap poultry and want to push your income higher, higher-value livestock like pigs are the natural step up. They’re a mid-to-late investment — best once your ranch is producing steadily and you have barn space and cash to spare.
Care basics
As with all livestock, keep pigs fed, watered and housed, and upgrade their building as you expand. Automation helps once your operation is large.
Tips
- Wait until you have steady income before investing.
- Make sure you have the space and feed to support them.
- As always, process goods rather than selling raw for the best return.
