Master the art of successful pig pasturing with regenerative farmer Joel Salatin in this essential session on Pig Pasture Principles. Learn how to maximize your ecological positive while avoiding destructive practices. Joel shares vital lessons on proper land management, emphasizing that location and timing are everything.
Key Takeaways:
Location Matters: Avoid riparian areas (swamps, marshes) and extremely steep terrain for regular pig pastures.
Rotation is Key: Limit your pig stay to no more than 12 days in any one spot, and aim for a maximum of 3 visits per paddock annually to ensure vegetation recovery.
Optimal Harvest: Take pigs to around 300 pounds. At this size, they efficiently metabolize forage, resulting in a nutritionally superior, rose-colored meat.
