Specializing in pasture raised

Summer break is almost over. You can tell by the long, exasperated expressions on the  faces of your children. They know it’s time to go back to school. We can tell Fall is approaching by the number of phone calls we receive. Many of you are already planning for this years 4H and FFA project hogs. We have had 3 litters of Berkshire hogs farrowed already, and will have a few more litters coming throughout the next 3 months.

We added a 3 new gilts to the herd this year. Black Magic is Hampshire/Yorkshire that we bred to our Berkshire boar, Zed. She’s due to farrow August 19 and she is getting huge. We are expecting some great piglets from this gilt. She is a beauty, with huge hams and shoulders, a great frame, and long and lean down her back and sides. Crossing her to Zed will keep the piglets long and strong. He is a powerhouse of a boar but as gentle as the family dog.

We also added two more Berkshire gilts that are bred to Badonkadonk. He got that name for a reason. These litters are due to farrow September 2nd and 9th. I am personally looking forward to seeing these piglets. Not only should they show well, your buyers will be getting 100% pure Berkshire. For those of you buying pure Berkshires, be sure to let your buyers know what they are getting. If you haven’t had the opportunity to try Berkshire meat, you may want to raise two pigs. One for the show and one for your freezer. If your going to send letters to prospective buyers, go to the American Berkshire site and look at the PDF’s on Berkshire meat quality. Let your buyers know what to expect and you may increase your profits.

October will be the last litter of pigs farrowed this year. Olive is another Hamp/York cross, bred to Zed and this should throw off some nice piglets. She is farrowing a little late for the season, but her piglets have shown great weight gain in the past, so these piglets will be good for the fairs in late March and April.

Our herd is growing every year and we have 4 registered Berkshire gilts to breed in September and October that will be ready for the Hog and Ham project at University of Florida. Also 3 Duroc gilts that we are breeding at the same time. This is a great project that teaches youth the entire process of raising a pig including processing. I know it’s not for everyone, but if your child is interested they will learn some valuable skills.

The 2010 Florida County Fair season is wrapping up with only a couple of county fairs to take place in April. Congratulations to Kiersten from St. Lucie County on a fourth place finish. We are looking forward to the Hernando County Fair as we have quite a few pigs showing this year. We’ll update the Show Pig page as we get the fair results.I’d like to say thank you to all the kids for giving us the opportunity to provide their show pigs this season. We are growing bigger each year and our breeding stock is getting better and better.

We are currently breeding for 2011 Florida Fairs. We have some beautiful Berkshire sows and have seen great results from their breeding’s. We also have a couple exotic sows that will produce some fine quality show pigs. We have noticed that many of the pigs in our State and Local Fairs don’t come from Florida. Many 4-H and FFA groups travel to the northern states to get what is considered a Show Pig. This only increases the cost to these students as the gas and time must be accounted for in the price of the Show Pig. Our goal is to help the students keep down the initial cost, therefor maximizing the overall sale price of their show pig.

These fairs are intended to teach the production of market hogs. However, they have become very competitive and more and more programs are using so-called natural enhancers like Pay-Lean to bulk up their show pigs. We raise our pigs outside on pasture where they are allowed to be pigs. They graze, root, and roll in the mud. Our pigs are never forced to reach weight by artificial methods. This means that your show pig will have the same quality meat that we offer to our freezer pig customers as long as you don’t introduce artificial growth enhancers. We have seen our pigs reach market weight in 5-6 months on a regular basis.

Our litters for next year will farrow in late July and early August. This gives the kids a chance to spend more time with their Show Pigs. Showmanship is an important criteria in the kids 4-H and FFA programs. The more time you kid puts into the pig the better it shows. Check out this manual for help in swine showmanship.

We are looking forward to seeing you all next fall and to all you Seniors, Congratulations, you made it. No matter what direction life pulls you, you will always remember the experiences and lessons learned from participating in 4-H or FFA. Good luck and best wishes to you all.

Florida’s Law on Pig Confinement

Found in ARTICLE X: Section 21

This law was adopted in 2002 and was added to Florida’s Constitution. Subsection (G) tells us it takes effect 6 years after it’s adoption by majority vote. So, in 2008 there could be no more gestation crates used in Florida? Really? I had to see for myself and you should have a look as well if you are in any way interested in swine production.

I need to preface my statements by saying, in 2002 this law was earmarked under a bill for mass-transportation. The T.V. ads said vote yes to stop the transportation and confinement of pregnant sows. I remember thinking “why would anyone want to transport pregnant pigs? That’s just cruel.” The fact of the matter is that the law was intended to close down commercial hog farms that environmentalists and animal activists deemed cruel. Well let’s face it, this is Florida. Home to Mickey Mouse and sandy beaches with clear blue water. How many of us have any idea how many pig farms there are? How many of you know what it takes to successfully breed and raise pigs? No offense meant, but the fact is that not many Floridians or it’s visitors have any clue, nor do they care, about what it takes to succeed in pig farming. Most of us just go to the grocery store and see that they have pork on the shelves. Oh boy, pork and we don’t even know where it came from.

Since the inception of of this law, originally voted on as Amendment 19, both of Florida’s large scale hog farms have closed. While this was a win for PETA and the Humane Society of America(HSUS), the law itself does not ban gestation crates. I had to read it about 10 times to get the drift, but “NO” it does not ban them.
It states: “(a)  It shall be unlawful for any person to confine a pig during pregnancy in an enclosure, or to tether a pig during pregnancy, on a farm in such a way that she is prevented from turning around freely”
OK, so you cannot confine a pig. But there are exceptions to every rule. You really have to love the law. They contradict themselves with every sentence. After subsection (A) there is another subsection listed as subsection (B).
It reads: (b)  This section shall not apply:

(1)  when a pig is undergoing an examination, test, treatment or operation carried out for veterinary purposes, provided the period during which the animal is confined or tethered is not longer than reasonably necessary.

(2)  during the prebirthing period.

According to SS(b)(1) it is OK to confine a pig to carry out tests, examinations, treatments or operations. Followed by, “provided the period during which the animal is confined or tethered is not longer than reasonably necessary”
Just how long is reasonably necessary? 2days, 2 hours, 2 months? A little help here please. What exactly are the guidelines as far as “reasonably necessary” implies? Do I get to make a decision for myself? Without government intervention? I doubt it, but I have to point out the obvious lack of clarity in this wording. I’ll lay bets that 3 different veterinarians would give 3 different responses as to time frames considered “reasonable“.

On to subsection (b) (2) during the prebirthing period. What is the prebirthing period? I had to ask too, and by scrolling down into subsection (c) we find the definitions of the terms used in this legislation.
Prebirthing, as described in SS(c)(6)  “prebirthing period” means the seven day period prior to a pig’s expected date of giving birth. So, under subsection(b) which states “This section shall not apply:”, we find that it is perfectly lawful to confine a pig 7 days prior to the pigs expected date of giving birth. Luckily for pig farmers, we can calculate the farrowing date to a specific day, give or take 24 hours. So 7 days prior to farrowing, the sow or gilt may be confined according to this law. What about after the piglets are born? Do we assume that we are to revert back to SS(b)(1) and can only leave them confined for a reasonable amount of time? Again I ask, what is considered reasonable? 3 days, 7 days, until weaning? A little more clarity would be nice, or was there a problem finding enough expert witnesses that could cooperate and decide on a reasonable time frame? So many questions, so few answers!

Hopefully, you are questioning this mess of legislation as much as I am? It wasn’t made a just a law, this is now part of Florida’s Constitution. We the people have been taken again by lobbyists and special interest groups and they have added this vague piece of legislation to our Constitution. Well we did help, by being naive and taking the medias word for it.

Now that some of you want to hang me for being a right wing terrorist, let me explain why I had to look into this embarrassing law. Our pigs are kept on pasture and allowed to roam free and do as they please. For the most part anyway. But, for those non pig farmers out there, a pigs best production age is around 3-4 years old. It only takes our gilts 8 months to reach 275-300 pounds and if we pushed them it could be done 2 months sooner. If an 8 month old pig weighs around 300 pounds can you imagine how big a 3-4 year old pig is? I’ll take the guessing out, 650-700 lbs. That’s right, about half the weight of a Smart Car.
Here’s the problem we are facing. These sows have unbelievably great mothering instincts and will go to any length to protect their piglets. We have been allowing them to choose a spot in the pasture and make themselves comfortable. No pressure, just let nature run it’s course, right. Piglets are born with their eyes wide open, somewhat steady legs, and will naturally walk themselves right around mom’s legs to start suckling. But what if, while that brand new baby pig is making the long trek to mom’s milk, the sow has a contraction and her legs extend and push against the ground at the same time the new little piggy is rounding the hooves? Death number 1. This one could have been avoided by confining the sow during farrowing. The gestation crates have bars that prevent the sows from over extending. I’ll skip down the line to piglet number 13. Yes 13 and sometimes more. By the time piglet number 13 is farrowed the sow has been nursing the previous piglets for a couple hours and wants to roll over so her nipples will stop aching. All 700 pounds takes a big roll to the other side and where do the new baby pigs go? Some get stuck under that behemoth, the unfortunate ones who haven’t been alive long enough to know it’s time to move out of the way. Baby pigs number 3, 5,and 6 have now joined piglet number 1 on the endangered species list. Again this could have been avoided with the use of gestation crates. The side bars would have kept the sow from rolling completely over and given the piglets more time to evacuate. By now I hope you see where this is going. I could give you a lot more details, but I think I’ll keep them to myself. Why should we all lose sleep? You can thank me later.

The previous paragraph was only a glimpse into the chaos and disaster that a pig can incur. I for one, do not think it is so cruel to confine a sow for short periods in order to save the lives of her offspring. Recently we had a sow lose 10 out of 14 piglets because the piglets could not get out of her way. She is depressed and not herself and I would much rather her be uncomfortable for a few days than to see her in this state of mind. This isn’t all about money for most farmers. We love and respect our herds and want them to be happy and healthy. The minor inconvenience of limited movement far outweighs the loss of life due short-sighted, politically motivated legislation. And now that I, and hopefully you, have read the law instead of believing what others told me I can clearly see that there is, in fact, NOT a ban on gestation crates. Good news for our little pig farm. Calypso’s next litter might be able to survive past day 1.

For those who may be interested, I put the full version of the Florida Constitutional Amendment in this post. Scroll down and read for yourselves. Call me out if I’m wrong, and please show me why I am. To many times, we the people are duped by bad legislation, loaded with crap(yes, crap,because that is essentially what it is), so stay informed our we all lose!

Miniature pigs including, Micro Mini pigs and Teacup Pot Bellie pigs have been all the craze lately.  And for good reason. These extraordinary pet pigs not only make great pets, but could even be considered companions.  Pet pigs, including  micro mini pigs and teacup pot bellie pigs are very smart, very loving, and they have a long life span. They eat a nominal amount of food compared to dogs and they can be potty trained as well as leash trained. All the more reason for the mini pig’s rise to fame.

Let’s take a closer look at the difference in the miniature pig breeds.  According to the California Pot Belly Pig Association(CPPA) there are 6 distinct varieties of miniature pigs. Miniature pig meaning these varieties are naturally smaller than farm pigs that will reach 800 – 1000 pounds. While many breeders claim to have true miniature pigs, there is not a specific breed that is naturally that small. By selective breeding and crossbreeding, pet pigs have been miniaturized to retain there small statures. If you see a pig with a swayed back, short snout, and pot bellie, then chances are there was a pot bellie pig used somewhere in the breeding selection.

As listed by the CPPA, here are the natural breeds of miniature pigs:

Juliani Pigs

Vietnamese Pot Belly or Pot bellie pig, or Pot Belly

Kune Kune

Ossabaw Island Pig

African Pygmy or Guinea hog

Yucatan Pig or Mexican Hairless Pig

Pot Bellie Pigs:

The most notable breed, thanks to shows like The Today Show, are the Teacup Pot Belly. The teacup pot belly is still a Vietnamese Pot Belly pig. Over the years, breeders have chosen the smallest boars and gilts to downsize the Vietnamese Pot Belly pig into the adorable Teacup Pot Belly pigs that are showing up in the news around the world. The term teacup Pot Belly, refers to the size of the pig at birth. The teacup pot belly will fit into a teacup, weighing only a few ounces. They mature in 2-3 years reaching a height of 12 -14 inches and can weigh up to 60 pounds with the smaller teacup pot bellies weighing in at only 40 pounds at maturity. A standard breed Vietnamese Pot Belly can reach 18 inches in height and weigh over 200 pounds. These miniature pigs have distinct traits including a swayed back, pot belly, shortish snouts, and small erect ears. The primary colors for the Vietnamese pot belly and teacup pot bellies are black and white. Breeders often set pricing on colors and patterns and also eye color.

Juliani Pigs:

The Juliani pig or painted miniature pig can trace its ancestry back to England. This mini pig is the result of a selective breeding program to produce an extremely smart, docile, and loving pet pig. There are discrepancies as to the true origin of the Juliani pig, but nonetheless they do make a great pet pig. They range in height from 15 to 18 inches and can weigh over 50 pounds when mature. Some breeders in the United States have used selective breeding to downsize this breed with claims of pigs as small as 30 pounds at maturity. Colors for the Juliani pig are wide ranging, hence the name painted miniature pig. They can be silver, silver and white, red, red and black, red and white, white and black, and black.

KuneKune:

The KuneKune is relatively small pig by nature. The have colors ranging from tan and brown, white and black, black, gold,  and white. The Kune Kune’s most distinct trait are the pire pire, which are small tassels that hang from their lower jaw, usually about 4 cm in length.  KuneKune  have been kept by New Zealand communities for centuries and make great foragers eating grass without rooting up the entire yard or pasture. The word KuneKune is Polynesian for “plump” as these small pigs have short legs and round bodies.

Ossabaw Island Pig:

The Ossabaw Island Pig is a feral pig that can be found off the coast of Georgia on Ossabaw island. This breed was believed to have been brought over by the Spanish and dropped off on the island. The Ossabaw Island pig has become miniaturized over the centuries because of the size of the island and the amount of food available, known as insular dwarfism. Ossabaw Island hogs are known to be very lively, extremely intelligent, long lived, and have an excellent temperament.

Ossabaw Island pigs have prick ears, meaning they are pointed and stand erect. Other characteristic of the Ossabaw Island pig are long snouts and heavy coats. the colors are wide ranging, including; red, blue and gray.  Spotted pigs can be calico, red, black and white, with a solid white pig being very rare. Height can range from 14-20 inches and weight anywhere from 40 to 200 pounds in captivity.

Guinea Hog or African Pygmy:

The Guinea hog can trace it’s ancestry back to the days of slave trade. Through selective breeding, the Guinea hog was transformed into a great homesteader pig. They were prized as meat production pigs, before the invent of the refrigerator, so all the meat could be consumed with little to no waste.

The Guinea hog is a very friendly and adaptable pig. They are, for the most part, black, with a few pigs having white on the feet and hints of red or gray on the coat. They have thick full coats, curly tails, and erect ears. Guinea hog piglets are farrowed weighing 1 pound and reach maturity between 2 and 3 years weighing 200 – 300 pounds. They are very docile towards people and other animals, but are known to run off vermin.

The Guinea hog is an endangered breed, but are seemingly making a comeback. The American Guinea Hog Association has a nice list of U.S. breeders for those interested.

Yucatan Pig or Mexican Hairless Pig

The Yucatan or Mexican Hairless Pig originated in Central America and Mexico. This breed has been a favorite of laboratories since it’s skin and internal organs closely resemble those of humans. While this hearty little pig is called hairless, it does have coarse hair, although sparse. The Yucatan Pig is silver, gray in color and at maturity 16 – 24 inches tall and will weigh about as much as an adult male, between 150 – 200 pounds. These pigs are easy to socialize and enjoy being handled.

How to deworm a pig naturally:

One of the major issues with raising pigs, be it commercial or organic, is worming. Pigs are susceptible to a multitude of worms, which brings us to the question.

How do I deworm a pig naturally?  or  What can I use to deworm a pig naturally?

While there are many commercial products available, the majority of them contain hazardous chemicals and even poison. Many of us have seen the labels on the drugs we use in our homes and farms that give distinct warnings on the use and storage of the drugs. Here is an exert of a  label from a major drug company that produces dewormers for livestock:

WARNING

“Not For Use In Humans. Keep this and all drugs out of the reach of children. This product can cause irritation to skin, eyes, or mucous membranes. In case of accidental skin contact and/or clothing contamination, wash skin thoroughly with soap and water and launder clothing with detergent. In case of accidental eye contact, flush eyes with copious amounts of water. When direct inhalation occurs, cleanse lungs and respiratory passages with fresh air. In case of ingestion do not induce vomiting and seek medical attention immediately. If irritation or any other symptom attributable to exposure to this product persists, consult your physician.”

Why would anyone use a product that boldly states the poisonous effects it has on skin. And how can they promote a product known be hazardous to the skin. The last time I checked my pigs and cows all had skin. As a matter of fact, part of the butchering process involves removing the skin.

Then we have the other menagerie of dewormers that kill all the worms by injecting a poison into the muscle mass of the animal. While these are very effective at worm removal, they also have a withdrawal period. If you are giving your livestock a poison that is so strong that you have to wait 30 days to butcher the animal or you may poison yourself by eating the meat, one needs to question the other effects these chemicals have on the livestock they are injected into.

I recently read the warnings from a pour on deworming product which stated on the label,”Studies indicate that when moxidectin comes in contact with the soil it readily and tightly binds to the soil and becomes inactive. Free moxidectin may adversely affect fish and certain aquatic organisms. Do not contaminate water by direct application or by improper disposal of drug containers.”

What?  They are telling us that we can pour this on our animals and send them out to pasture where they walk through a pond and contaminate the water to the point that aquatic life will die? How is that an effective product? Sure it will kill the worms. And the fish and the plants, and then it will leach into the water supply and we all get to drink it. I can’t wait!!!

Until “Big Drug” comes up with a product that matches the amazing effects of those created by Mother Nature, I choose to use the natural worming methods. There are many herbs, fruits, and vegetables known to expel parasites. Of these, we have found garlic and rosemary to be the most effective. We also use diatamaceous earth which our feed mill mixes directly into the feed so the pigs get the advantage of a continuous natural dewormer, which is supplemented once a month by adding 2 tablespoons of garlic to their feed once a day.

Garlic has been used for thousands of years and it’s medicinal properties have been exploited by people around the world, not only for animals, but many of it’s curative properties can be used to treat humans as well. It was used during the Great plague of London not only as a cure, but as a preventative against the plague. Using garlic as a dewormer is a little more labor intensive, since you must mince it and mix it in the feed. Some pigs will eat the whole garlic head, but the majority of our pigs prefer it to be minced.

Rosemary is another great natural dewormer and is easily grown on any farm. I have seen Rosemary around homes that have literally grown into a hedge about 4 feet tall. By adding a handful of fresh Rosemary along with the garlic you can effectively control parasites in your swine. This mixture can also be used on other livestock but may need to be thoroughly mixed into the feed.

For the past 2 years we have used natural dewormers on our pigs with phenomenal results. Recently we took some stool samples to our veterinarian, with high hopes and some nervousness as to the results, and the tests came back negative for parasites. That’s right “negative”. The pigs diet of ground corn, soy, grain, vitamins, minerals, and pasture grass only needed the addition of diatamaceous earth and a once a month treatment of garlic and rosemary. Our pigs are kept outdoors on pasture where they forage and root in the dirt. The same place parasites like to hide. We do rotate pastures but it is a little pig farm, and the pastures don’t get a complete year to rest and dispose of the parasites. I can tell you how excited we were when the tests came back negative. We spent a lot of time worrying and praying that we weren’t killing the pigs by not giving them commercial dewormers. Even though they all appeared healthy and vibrant, we couldn’t see what was going on internally until it was time for the test.

Test number 2 was during butchering. The time came to send 2 pigs to the butcher. Both were over 250 lbs and had never been given a single shot. Not even iron. These pigs were a cross between a Berkshire and what I lovingly refer to as a junk pig. An old sow we’ve had for years that was from so many crosses nobody could figure out what she was. She was a great mother pig, and produced good meat pigs, but she would have been classified USDA grade 4 on appearance. The big day came and I couldn’t wait to see was going on inside the pigs. Sounds a little cruel putting it that way, but you never really know unless you take a look. I’ll skip the details and let you know that we inspected all the internal organs and found no signs of parasites. The organs looked great. Free from worms, vibrant in color, and healthy. I was amazed and a little giddy too, like a girl at her first prom sorta. Whatever, Brenda always laughs at my excitement. It worked, Holy Cow, it really worked. No parasites, healthy internals, and an overall healthy pig. And we didn’t have to give them poison to achieve this.

The dirty little secret to this marvel and lack of modern medicine is real simple. We add 20 pounds of Diatamaceous earth to 1000 pounds of feed. If you are only feeding 1 or 2 pigs you probably don’t want to buy 1000 pounds or more at a time. No worries, just mix 2 tablespoons of Diatamaceous earth in the pigs feed once a day. It takes almost 1000 pounds to get a pig from weaning to butcher weight so a 20 pound bag per pig from weaning to butcher.  Once a month, for a 7 day period, add 2 tablespoons minced garlic and rosemary. It’s that easy.

One problem for 4H – FFA show pigs, is the fact that many of these programs require a commercial dewormer. I would like to see that change, but these things take time. Most likely a 15 year study by a University to conclude that pigs on DE are apparently as healthy as those given poison, I mean commercial dewormers.

For those of us that are raising pigs ourselves for the mere piece of mind that we know what we’re eating, this method is completely viable and I must say that the meat quality wasn’t affected by the diatamaceous earth, garlic or rosemary. No runny meat, no funky taste, nothing at all except for great fresh pork. If you’re looking for an alternative to those commercial dewormers, give this a try. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
