Raising Pastured Pigs

More consumers are requesting that their meat products come from farms that raise their livestock with specific attention paid to housing and management style.

Pasture based swine systems use pasture in the summer and loose hoop housing in the winter.   Sows are fed in small groups and generally given a choice of huts to use during farrowing, whether it is inside the hoop house during winter or on pasture during the summer.
