A person who rears pigs is called a pig farmer. He is responsible for the nutrition, mating, birthing, weaning, vaccinating, weighing, selling, identifying or tattooing, inseminating, and recording information of pigs. It is quite a lot of work, and on a farm with 300 gilts you are likely to have at least five pig farmers, most full-time. Some may be designated specialty areas such as one person being responsible for ordering, mixing and filling silos with feeds for different life stages. All will usually be responsible for some assistance with birthing, cleaning and pressure-cleaning.
