[QUOTE="GSRetrievers, post: 3012894, member: 128512"] Poor management. It benefits the grower by less input cost for greater return if they are clean. Filthy houses mean sick hogs, higher mortality and higher use of medication. You may be seeing them after a DePop at the end of a rotation before they are clean when the culls are left. Except for the show hog growers that bring us hogs, 90% of the small farmers hogs grown on the dirt are far nastier than the ones from the commercial farms. I’m surprised you are able to get in those houses since you grow hogs on the ground, due to bio security. Don’t get me wrong, I prefer a marbled chop off of a ground raised hog with an inch of back fat over the lean commercial chops any day. [/QUOTE]
