I'm trying to get through the book "You Can Farm" by Joel Salatin and supposedly he doesn't worm or vaccinate, but he also has lots of acreage. I'm not sure if you'd be able to fully rotate all of them on 2.5 acres, but its worth a try. We are buying 10 acres and want to rotate pigs, goats...
I totally understand about wanting to raise your animals fully pastured. I know quite a few that raise Highland cattle for pasture. I want to raise Tamworth pigs for the same reason, purely pastured. That breed has genetics for being raised that way. I usually go to the Livestock Conservancy...
I really want to try the sprouted grains for my girl. Sounds like you have good results with the barley and oats. What do you think about sprouted corn as long as its non-GMO?
