    Seems to me there are easier and less flaming ways to prove yer porkers are pasture raised and free range :)

    I don’t understand the attraction to “free range” pork. Confined feedlot pork fed ground grain and grain meals and no animal products (which they do find and eat in a pasture) is generally safer to eat with a near zero chance of being capable of giving you trichinosis. Given a choice, I refuse free range or pasture pork. On the flip side we prefer grass fed beef for health reasons, not so much food safety.

    The fire was pretty funny.

    Most of do this amazing thing called Parasite Controls :) The parasites vary by region to a degree but Round Worms and Liver Flukes/Lung Worms being the most common if left unchecked. The cattle have the same parasite problems. Trichinosis is covered under the parasite controls. That confinement pork on the other hand carries pretty high loads of bacteria of a resistant nature due to the maintenance antibiotics continually fed through, not mention the other drugs and chemicals. Throw in pasture rotations and breaking the life cycles of parasites and the end consumer doing their jobs and properly handling and cooking the meat to a safe 160 degrees internally, then there is zero risk of pathogen or parasitic problems.

    The biggest attractions are flavor and the totally different fat make up of pasture pork VS Confinement pork or beef. The Omega 6 / Omega 3 ratio is healthy fat that is actually good to eat, particularly for keto dieters.

    I participate in a voluntary random sampling and testing of my pork when processed. What is found in the testing is lower than average Salmonella, ZERO Trichinosis, and Zero E. Coli (Largely due the very high sanitary standards of the packing plant I use).

    That being said there are some real shit shack slop job pasture producers out there processing and selling some parasite and bacterial bomb hogs, cattle can poultry. The farm in the video is not free range or pasture raised it is a large feedlot with no vegetation and no shortage of straw and manure....... Almost as much straw and manure as there are Irrational Pasture Pork MYTHS promoted as facts out there :) I am Going on 23 years of raising pastured pork and have raised and sold 6,116 pasture hogs on the hoof butcher hogs, on the hook by hanging weight, or as processed and packaged. Out of all of those hogs and years there has been exactly one claim made that my pork was unsafe and that was a lady that let it sit in a car on a 100 degree day in August from 8am until 6pm and then cooked and served it for dinner. She withdrew her lawsuit and allegations on the urging of her lawyer after she said as much in the depositions.

    I am not going to knock you for choosing not to eat pasture pork, but will knock you for participating in painting with a broad brush, dipped in the paint of misinformation and myth :)

    I won’t debate you but will just note that I married into a family of pork producers long ago: father in law, brother in law, multiple cousins and many neighbors. They all confined fed. I was closest to FIL and BIL operations and they had no issues with bacteria and didn’t feed antibiotics. About the only drug used was just oxytocin when sows were about to litter. I would cover for my brother in law when they would vacation and help him other times so got to know a good bit about the operation which wasn’t big, marketing only 1200 head a year. He quit the hog business a few years ago.
