    Rotational grazing is overlooked today. This man gets it. he's actually helping the environment through rearing pigs, while those mono-crop mega farms are having to chemically spray its nutrient devoid dirt to raise soy, wheat and corn. Good for this dude! "It's not the cow, its the how"

    • @johnnyoahu

      Vitaly Kroychik yes he is rotational grazing is very overlooked today especially those big farms who have high demands from big market buyers to them all they see is money and not caring about the overall operation of land and product

    Come to Ireland... Almost all animals are farm reared. They don't have the label of "free range" because apart from the supermarket shit they all are. Try anything and it will blow your mind. I know as I have traveled a lot of the world .

    • @martinhiggins3395
      @martinhiggins3395 6 років тому

      The video showed more than one group of pigs. He is probably minimizing mixing and regrouping because of the stress and aggression that it causes. The group of sows shown with the boar could be having two litters each per year of maybe a dozen piglets. He probably has another group of sows on the farm that are not with the boar because they are pregnant or nursing.

  • @RBuckminsterFuller

    Isn't there risk of inbreeding if you don't have more than that one boar?

    • @easysnake205
      @easysnake205 7 років тому

      You can import pig semen and artificially inseminate.

    • @easysnake205
      @easysnake205 7 років тому

      Female breeding stock is much more valuable

    • @RBuckminsterFuller
      @RBuckminsterFuller 7 років тому

      I get that. I guess the piglets are continuously culled for pork until the breeding generation is too old to keep going, and that's when you need new genetic material.

    • @tecumsehzacateco8798
      @tecumsehzacateco8798 3 роки тому

      You want inbreeding you keep the breeding stock pure.
