Pastured Pigs in Winter
Thought I would share a couple pics of our pastured pig operation. Currently have 34 feeders set to finish in March. We rotate pasture every few weeks and allow them access back to a 3 sided concrete floor barn with deep bedding. It was about 15 out today and they were all out rooting in the snow. 3/4 Duroc 1/4 red waddle cross farrowed on pasture and used to the elements. We see a ~2lb day gain and 2.7-3 feed conversion ratio with 200-215 hanging weights. We direct market to consumer by the cut and freezer pork.
