Moving Pigs

My pigs live on pasture in a shrubby, weedy part of the farm. You can see that they've uprooted everything right up to the fence line.

Napping on the job.

The paddock was full of weeds to start. The pigs are doing a good job of tilling up the ground for it to become grassy pasture again. It's too steep for mowing with a tractor to be practical, but the pigs are having a fabulous time uprooting the rose bushes. 

Moving to the next paddock!

I keep them in the same spot for about 2-3 weeks. That gives them plenty of time to root around and eat what they like, but is hopefully fast enough to avoid compacting the soil too much.
