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.

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.
