  • @teanna1980 the reason for the stalls is to keep the sows safe and also, the demand for pork products is very high, there ismply isnt enough land to hold all the sows

  • Have animals changed their ways since the days of the old farmer who let his stock out in his field.? My Grandmothers sons werecommercial farmers and their stock were not housed in buildings.This looks good way for the farmer but not a great way for the animal. If farmers can't take care of their animals in the field anymore why don't they cut down on stock and let other farmers have some of the raising. I am only asking because I and many others would like to know.

  • great video. thanks for sharing
