Southwest Transitional Pig Forage Mix

Our Southwest Transitional Pasture Pig Mix has been carefully chosen to adapt to the variable climate and soil conditions of the region. From the hot, dry summers to the frigid cold winters of central Nevada, southern and central Utah, and parts of the Four Corners states.

This mix includes warm-season grasses like smooth brome 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. Birdsfoot trefoil and sainfoin were added to reduce bloating and small burnet for its anti-inflammatory properties and antioxidants.

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% Smooth Brome

20% Hybrid Pearl Millet

15% Alfalfa

10% Triticale

10% Forage Radish

5% Strawberry Clover

5% White Clover

5% Sainfoin
