Pig in Farmstead World — animal in the game, and what it is on a real farm.
The pig is a social, clever animal that puts on weight quickly on grain and turns feed into meat more efficiently than cattle or sheep.
Pigs also litter often and grow fast, which is why pork is one of the cheapest and most widely eaten meats.
