It's nice having a good-sized backyard, because it is very hard to raise an "indoor" pig. This is the late Charlie, a pot-bellied pig who lived a long, full life and died of old age several years ago. When he was a piglet, we tried to keep him inside. It was a lot of fun for all of my cousins and I. Pigs really do make great pets...
...until they break into the cupboards and start eating the flour. Shortly after this incident, Charlie became an "outdoor" pig, which worked out great because he ate all of the under-ripe and rotten apples off of our lawn after they'd fallen from the tree.
Also important to keep in mind: pigs are difficult to house-train.
