These Pigs DON’T Root!
Everybody seems to be talking these days about Idaho Pasture Pigs. But you really got to make sure they have enough pasture, enough grain and enough minerals to make sure they don't make a mess of your pasture.

Kind of how I feel on a Friday afternoon as the five o'clock hour rolls around.
Darren and Brian Hefty discuss the benefits and challenges of using both compost and manure fertilizer.
Cattle and hog manure an be spread fresh or it can be composted. In short, composted manure smells a lot less, and weights less due less water so you can spread more nutrient with less trips, but it takes a lot longer for the nutrients to be absorbed into the soil. Fresh manure delivers nutrients with a punch, especially liquid manures that get down in the soil or are injected with a drag line. Interesting, short video.
