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.

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.

The Danish Protest Pig is a rare breed of domestic pig. Due to its red color, its broad white vertical belt, and a trace of a white horizontal belt it resembles the colors of the Flag of Denmark. It originated in North Frisia in Southern Schleswig in the beginning of the 20th century, when Danes living in the area were not allowed to raise the Danish flag and kept and displayed the Protest Pig instead, making it a symbol of their cultural identity.
