Pacific Southwest Pig Forage Mix

Our Pacific Southwest Pasture Pig Mix has been carefully chosen to adapt to the unique climate and soil conditions of the region. From dry summers to mild winters found along the West Coast from San Francisco to southern California.

This mix includes warm-season grasses like bermudagrass and hybrid pearl millet and cool-season barley as well as legumes such as alfalfa and clover. These varieties are all included to provide nutritious, palatable, and reliable sources of forage for pasture pigs, while also helping to maintain healthy pasture ecosystems. Forage chicory was added for its anti-parasitic qualities, and antioxidants, and for reducing the need for chemical dewormers. Birdsfoot trefoil was added to reduce bloating.

It’s an instinct and inclination for pigs to forage for food. Foraging fosters nutritional variety, environmental stimulation, and rooting instincts, as well as behavioral fulfillment and an outlet for their natural behavior. This mix produces a pasture that will contain approximately:

30% Common Bermudagrass

15% Alfalfa

10% Hybrid Pearl Millet

10% Barley

10% White Clover

10% Forage Radish

5% Strawberry Clover

5% Birdsfoot Trefoil

5% Forage Chicory
