Grain for Hogs on Pasture
Hogs on pasture require grain for profitability but full feed is not economical when pasture is plentiful and grain is costly. Feeding corn alone with limited ration and pasture can cut costs. Small amounts of protein feed like tankage or skim milk aid hogs under 100 pounds, while large hogs on high protein pasture such as alfalfa or clover incur higher costs.
