I wouldn’t want to raise pigs if I couldn’t move them around my property. I know some folks have deeply held opinions about things such as concrete pads and indoor hog operations, and you can count me among that lot. But beyond criticisms of conventional farming, seeing pigs rush headfirst into the overgrown grass of a new pasture and start chomping and rooting around just makes me smile. Happy animals are, to my way of thinking, an important marker for livestock-farming success, and a fresh pasture makes pigs very happy.
