Pigs Love Eating Oregon Big Leaf Maple Leaves

While we raise our pigs in a forest that is primarily regrowth Douglas Fir, there are other trees in the forest. Probably the most prolific tree other than the Douglas Fir tree is the Oregon Big Leaf Maple . . . and the pigs love them!

In the spring, the kids discovered that the pigs loved to eat the new flowers and leaves of the maples. They would pick the low hanging leaves and feed them to the pigs. The pigs loved the tasty treats.

I was wondering if they would also eat the maple leaves in the fall once they fell off the trees. And they do! The pigs love eating the fallen Oregon Big Leaf Maple leaves too.
