Wow!! Really?? I try to let stuff go on this forum, but I have to cry BS on this one. Are you saying pigs in slimey sloppy pasture mud, especially this screwed up winter, are better off and happier than a pig sleeping in a bed of straw in a nice dry cement floored barn??
Maybe in the southern climates where the ground stays firm all year, your statement is correct, but up here where we have weather.... I don't agree. I used to raise pigs on dirt lots/pastures and it's funny how they seem to want to stay on the concrete when it gets soupy, they'll even hole up in barns on concrete floors for weeks at a time to stay out of the mud. When a pig is burning off 50% of what it eats just trying to stay warm and navigate the mud, your bar none statement looses some punch.
By the way Justin, your pad is big enough for a few pigs. Be a good manager and keep it clean, give them a dry, draft free place to sleep and they'll thrive.
