+1 to Niman Ranch. I have a family member that raises hogs for them and has been very pleased with the business relationship.
Niman Ranch is all natural, Im talking Non GMO, I have no interest in having sick animals.
Couldn't bite my tongue on this as Niman Ranch is huge in my area...Did you ever consider that with not over crowding, allowing rooting materials, bedding what have you, and by NOT constantly feeding drugs and antibiotics the whole herd could actually be healthier?? I have no connection to Niman other than what neighbors are doing but from what I have seen they seem to be a great company to work with producing a product the fills a demand. They pay a premium for a premium product which sounds like exactly what you are wanting to do so why make 15 yr old comments?
Your comment about having "sick animals" couldn't be farther from the truth and if conventional/confinement animals aren't "sick" why are 99% of the animals on drugs/antibiotics for 90% of their lives?
