Correct Rations for Pigs on Pasture
Farmers who add grain to pasture fed hogs see gains of about a pound daily from weaning to 200 to 250 pounds. Grain feeding brings earlier market, reduces feeding time and costs, and improves meat quality. Light steady grain on pasture outperforms heavy feeding for a short finish.
Good Ram Worth The Price In Sheep Breeding
A ram bred to improve flock quality is a long term investment. At Missouri University of Agriculture, a $30 to $40 mutton ram sired lambs two and a half pounds heavier at three months and 60 percent higher sale value versus those from scrub rams, supporting the case for choosing superior sires.
