Spot Feeding Pigs To Clear Pasture

Video: Spot Feeding Pigs To Clear Pasture

This is a very simple yet effective method to encourage pigs to root and till up specific areas of our pasture. We're calling it spot feeding only because I don't know if it has an official term (Let me know if it does)

In this one we'll show you our pigs in action, talk briefly about how we're doing this, what they've covered and show you how simple this feeding method really is.

I've found that we can use spot feeding to keep our fence line clear as well as clearing up briars and other things that aren't as desirable for the pigs.
