April Prusia of Dorothy’s Range raises hogs near Blanchardville, Wisconsin. There’s not enough flexibility with butcher dates to obtain the level of quality and quantity she wants for her customers, she said. She prefers her hogs to be a certain weight for slaughtering. Ideally she would like to have processing dates scheduled for late summer or fall because she raises pigs on pasture – and that’s when they have optimal levels of Omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D.
