Free-Ranging With Hardy Pig Breeds – Countryside
Free-ranging allows pigs to satisfy their curious natures and engage in fulfilling activities. They can improve land fertility and diversity, assist farmers in their work, and provide tasty and nutritious food. These benefits require good management of well-adapted breeds that can thrive outdoors with the minimum of intervention.
Setting Up the Perfect 1 Acre Pig Farm (in the woods)
Running pigs in the woods is an interesting idea, especially when you have a lot of underbrush and invasive crap to clean up and want to really tear up the soil. Goats are good for some purposes, especially chewing away at brush but they won't tear up the soil like pigs will or restore it with lots of rich organic matter.
The Fascinating Story of the Danish Protest Pigs – Daily Scandinavian
Through a crafty program of crossbreeding, Danish farmers tried to create a new breed of pig that faintly resembled their beloved home’s flag. It wasn’t terribly difficult, they decided to use biology as their secret weapon. The banner of Denmark is relatively simple—a flat red background covered by a long, white Nordic cross — so all the pig needed was a coat of red fur and one or two prominent white belts. They named it Protestschwein, the Danish Protest Pig.
