Las Vegas Livestock relied on scraps from Strip hotels. Now it’s finding new ways to feed its 4,000 pigs (Via EaterVegas)
, including restaurants, bars, and resorts, must close until April 16, Las Vegas Livestock’s main sources of food took a major hit with restaurants only allowed to offer takeout and delivery service and almost every restaurant on the Strip shutting down all operations. The tons of food arriving from Strip hotels and restaurants trickled to a halt, and owner Hank Combs realized he needed to slow down business and reduce his stock just to keep his livestock fed.
. “While we are not facing a drought or low harvest, we have found ourselves in an unprecedented time of scarcity.” The fifth-generation farm feeds its pigs around 20 tons of pasteurized food that is wasted from the local area and surrounding states every day.“The mandatory casino closures have undoubtedly hit our business hard. We have been forced to slow down, but agriculture cannot entirely be put on hold,” the farm wrote on Facebook.that each tourist visiting Las Vegas wastes about one pound of food per day.
“Things happen fast, but as always, our focus remains providing quality care and feed for our animals,” the farm wrote on Facebook. “We will be cutting inventory in the coming months to compensate. Any food recycling opportunities are welcome.”•
