Southwest Semi-Arid Steppe Pig Forage Mix

Our Southwest Semi-Arid Steppe Pasture Pig Mix has been carefully chosen to adapt to the challenging climate and limited water availability of the region. From the dry arid sections of southwestern Texas and southern New Mexico.

This mix includes warm-season grasses like common bermudagrass and hybrid pearl millet, cool-season grasses like triticale, 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 provide year-round healthy pastures. Forage chicory was added for its anti-parasitic qualities, and antioxidants, and for reducing the need for chemical dewormers.

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:

20% Common Bermudagrass

20% Hybrid Pearl Millet

20% Alfalfa

10% White Clover

10% Triticale

10% Forage Radish

10% Field Pea
