I was wondering how long I can get away without resting the pig pen?
We have just about finished out first batch of 4 on ground that has never had any animals on it. The pen is 120' x 75' (9000 ft2) so a very low stocking density.
The plan is to get another batch of 5 or 6 in a months time to finish near Christmas, then rest the ground for 4 months and start another 10 in April with 6 for pork and 4 to run right through to bacon weight.
Does that sound ok or I would I really be better giving the Xmas batch a miss, re seeding and resting it until next years batch?
Any advice appreciated.
