Great video, and nice to see the pigs thriving in a natural environment. I learned something new in this video as to why they cut off the tails when the pigs are raised in large barns. That is a great point to not raise pigs in such large quantities commercially. New subscriber to the channel and appreciating the work that you do.
That is a great question. We do our best not to raise hogs in the winter but if we do, they get hay to bed down in/snack on and still have their corn and soy free non GMO feed available at all times.
GMOs aren't a source of dietary glyphosate because it's not applied at the end of the growing season but rather the start and middle. It is sometimes used on non-GMO crops to "dry down" and speed up maturity, so wheat is the number one crop for actual glyphosate in diet, though then it still isn't beyond what is safe for us to eat.
That is a great point, thats why it is important to partner with local farmers that you know and trust to raise needed grains with out glyphosate use. Regardless of what is deemed safe, we decided when starting Ayers Valley Farm to avoid glyphosate at all costs to ensure our customers glyphosate free meats. Thanks for stopping by with your knowledge!

What do they eat in winter time?
