Can we feed our pigs just cracked corn? Or do we have to feed them pork maker? These pigs are for the freezer. The cost of the porkmaker has gone from $8.50 to...
I know someone who does feed 'just corn'. But, I wouldn't eat her pork. Corn is not a complete nutrient, how can it make a nutritionally complete meat? I...
What evidence do you have that grazing is a complete nutrient? Isn't the purpose of raising then eating animals to convert feed that is not nutritionally...
None. I have faith that God gave each of his animals a diet that suits them perfectly. You don't have to believe in him, but I hope you don't mind if I do....
Don't assume that you can determine my beliefs. While the "Master Plan" may be correct, years of experience have shown me that the Devil is in the details. ...
My goodness graze them if you can. My neighbor spends next to nothing feeding her hogs. She gives them a scoop of corn each night as kind of a treat. She...

Well, I put a male in with her and she about beat the living daylights out of him the 1st day. By the time the 3rd day rolled around she was tolerating him and...
I think she's been letting him know "I am the Queen goat". Once he lets her know HE's the King goat, they should be fine. We took delivery on a new herd sire a...
