I’ll apologize in advance, I’m gonna rant here.

People are sharing this post, messaging farms asking if this is how they raise pigs, aspiring homesteaders or small scale farmers are taking this as gospel, because if it’s in the internet and you see if enough this must be true.

Pigs are not cows, they do not have the stomach to convert forages into energy/weight gain. Pigs are omnivores, with single chambered stomachs that are designed by nature to eat a variety of items to meet their nutritional needs.

Can a pig be raised solely on grass and forages? Probably, is it what’s best for the pig, the flavor or the meat, and the farmers bottom line? Absolutely not. Pork is supposed to be fatty, it’s a nutritionally dense food that has multiple applications, and when we as consumers decides to mess with that, we compromised flavor and that nutritional density.

These pigs will in the long run wind up being skinny, take longer to finish, over graze and subsequently cause significant damage to the environment unless managed on a four season pasture rotation with 90% of the US is not going to be able to provide.

I for one promise you that we will never raise a pig like the one on the left, I wouldn’t serve that to my worst enemy in the world. That’s the pork of sadness I keep warning you all about.
