The pigs are doing well on very little feed and are grazing pasture and foraging in the forest. I move the pasture daily and the forest paddocks are rotated weekly. I have begun to open up one of the forest paddocks by cutting down the small, low quality, bent, or badly located trees. I want to let enough light in to get some grass growing to enlarge my grazing system into the forest without eliminating the browse or nut drop.

You mentioned the small purple buds on the smaller tree. Did you mean a Red Bud? or maybe a decorative Plum tree? Red Buds are very popular in the spring woodlands or farms and stream areas. It's a very common wild tree in the Indiana farm areas. Beautiful when in full bloom early in the season. 10/8/2016 06:54:06 am
Yes, I meant Redbud. I really like the color in the spring. Leave a Reply. |
