We raise our pigs on pasture with a feed ration much like you use. 18% protein corn, soy, minerals and vitamins and animals are growing and healthy. The pigs graze the pasture and we move them weekly. That being said, they eat the straw bedding we give them. The only ones that don't are the sows. Feeders will go through half a bale weekly of rye straw eating it. We typically only provide straw in the winter for warmth, but they still eat it. Currently we have gloucester old spots which are a pasture/forage pig so I think that has something to do with the eating of the straw when they do not have enough pasture. This time of year although there is grass and roots it is not the salad mix they are used to getting in the growing months on pasture. Have you tried giving them some junk hay? We have also done this and found some groups to love it, other turn their noses up at it.
