This guide shows a small homestead how to raise calm, healthy pigs on pasture while protecting soil and water. It starts with scale, land limits, local rules, breed and age-class fit, and a season window. You begin small, set clear rest targets, and use a training pen to build routine. Infrastructure centers on a hot, reliable fence, a dry mobile hut, portable shade, a small controlled wallow, and clean water. A storm and outage plan keeps the system safe. Rotations use short stays of one to three days and long rests that stretch with the season. Buffers protect streams. A planned sacrifice lot carries you through mud and winter. Feeding blends a complete ration by stage with modest pasture intake. You set a growth target, feed roughly three percent of bodyweight to start, keep loose minerals out daily, add safe seasonal feeds, and place feed lines to spread impact. Water comes first, every day. Daily health relies on a two-round check, clean records, and simple biosecurity: three-week quarantine for new pigs, short stays to break parasite cycles, and clear heat and cold plans. Calm handling leads to a smooth loading day through feed-call training, a short alley, sure footing, and tight processor coordination with paperwork ready. Finally, the system pays back the land: even manure with frequent moves, overseed when seed meets soil, add short orchard passes with tree protection, compost winter bedding, test soil yearly, and keep a basic budget. The rhythm is steady—short stays, long rests, clean water, dry rest, and quiet handling—so pigs finish well and the pasture improves each year.
