They’re only raising the pig in it natural environment. Wild pigs live in hordes and build hay mounds to rear there piglets. The pigs have no stress and the quality of the meat is far better. Me question is why do they cut off the tails? Usually they do it by pigs keep indoors in stalls. Because of stress and too many animals they bit each other’s tails off. This causes infection and death. Living outside, they have room to chill. America is starting to learn how to process quality in their nutrition. Cheap will always be cheap. When you put quality foods instead it shows outside.

@Timefliesbye That's a mirage... quality drops steadily the longer an animal remains inside. Aside it's a myth... technology warranties raising livestock outside easier and easier, aside more holistic with the environment -permaculture philosophy-. The Nederlands and Italy are a good example of this, people are educated mainly to fulfil these technical jobs... plus the food is superb.

Abril Bastons no that’s not true. At 4:36 you can see that the piglets are running on the new straw and they all have their tails.
Amazing info. Raised two pigs in a pen last spring. Wanted to pasture them and learned real quick that that is a learned thing. So this October getting 3 piglets and going to implement this info. And I’m so excited. I tried to listen to Joel salatin, but I have a hard time listening to him trailing off (all due respect). You presented the information perfectly. Thank you so much!

When I was in High School this how my dad raise hogs. Everything that you described we did on a smaller scale operation, biggest problem that I remember was provide enough shade for the pigs to keep them cool on hot days in the Midwest so we didn’t lose any of them. The benefits to raise them this way that I remember was that it did put on the table a better cut of pork for the meal. THANKS FOR BEING BACK THE MEMORIES.

I have huge admiration for farmers. It's the toughest business to succeed in. I did a tour of a small farm in Scotland. They had 400 sheep. In the spring they shear the sheep. Their income is, after paying the shearer, $2.00 / fleece. That's $800 !! Which is like 10 minutes of farming expenses. Yet !! They thrive.

Wow!! Excellent presentation! As someone who is extremely passionate about pigs and pasture raised pigs I was very impressed. I have done a lot of work in figuring out how to set up a complete outdoor farrow to finish operation in Alberta so dealing with very cold winters, hot summers and everything in between. Outdoor farrowing and reducing the amount of labour required while maintaining high level of cleanliness!! I was successfully raising 250lb + in 5 1/2 months outdoors which I feel was a pretty good accomplishment! Animals raised with love taste better :)

Chinese imports of pork and sheep is a growing enterprise for American farmers. With the recent flooding, there are huge losses to their grazing land and massive losses of animals. They are already experiencing food shortages and add to this their two child policy (double the Previous quota) its an enormous market. Pork and chicken are their primary meats. Lamb and fish are their other meat mainstays. They also buy lots of beef, goat and rabbit but to a smaller extent. At age 65 I’m starting a livestock farm. Just got 30 acres and will begin growing the herds and expanding as necessary.
