Excellent article in @ModFarm on raising animals without routine antibiotics including quotes from FACT's Steve Roach on why we need to reduce antibiotic overuse. @NimanRanch modernfarmer.com/2024/04/peo…

“It’s completely different raising pigs outside. I see a whole different animal, in the way they act,” says Eric Boor, @NimanRanch. “When you lock them up in hog confinement, they get aggressive. I don’t have that on our farm.” foodtank.com/news/2024/01/yo…

US Head of Food Business Julia Johnson is currently attending the @NimanRanch Hog Farmer Appreciation Celebration. CIWF commends Niman Ranch for never using gestation or farrowing crates and for providing an opportunity for American farmers to give pigs a better quality of life.
