Monticello ky | Hey guys been doing a lot of thinking here lately . I have a few hogs and I raise them in a Confinment type environment. I started out as a mud farrowing in old mule stalls and raising feeder pigs outside. Even as an adult I started out farrowing in pens . I followed the trend of more Confinment went to slotted finishing then farrowing crates and whatnot . you know the drill. I have about decided that I enjoyed it a whole lot more before and am thinking about getting back to an older way of doing things . now I am not sold on the no antibiotics , trying to finish hogs on grass cause people think their cattle thing. But I really did enjoy it more doing it the way my grandpa did.
So I was just wanting some ideas from you guys as to what you were doing and what was working . I am looking for a low labor way of farrowing wether it's on pasture or in pens . I've never farrowed in pasture. I have a hard time wrapping my head around the idea of letting them loose and theyfind a but and make it work. Like I said just looking for ideas
Thanks
God Bless | |
