Pasture-based pork production offers opportunities for niche meat producers to meet the desires of consumers concerned about the treatment of animals they eat. But it's not as simple as just turning pigs out to pasture.
Q: My backyard got invaded by gophers (or someone who enjoys making holes). I'm worrying that I might injure myself in the holes. I have tried setting traps, but have been unsuccessful. I heard some snakes can kill gophers, but I'm also aware not to release invasive creatures. What do you recommend?
