In Natural Pig Farming ring nosing has no place. We will not ring nose and as the above shows, we have very strong views against ring nosing. Our deep bed pig sty is designed to encourage rooting. So too, is the mud bath in each sty. So too, is our practice of throwing heaps of vegetation into a sty for the pigs to root through and eat. On of the key strengths of the natural pig farming system is that it recognizes and respects the pigs need and core drive to root. We try to encourage this behavior.
