Farmbuilder, thank you for your service!! and the life you are sharing with the world! AWESOMENESS

Love what you’re doing Jordan!!

Those details were great 5 years Ago!, he has very great great ways of pasture raising pigs for today.

Thanks. Very informative!

I would recommend to get past the weeds, move the hogs to next pasture, then uproot weeds, resead the grasses and greens you want, leave till new plants are established, then return hogs. And from then on just reseed every time the hogs move. That will get on top of the weeds. I don't have pasture animals atm just degree in Agriculture and I have raised a few breeds of pigs. Still looking for my own cut of land

I came with Justin Rhodes wonderful channel

I guess the 🐖 is saying it's time for them to walk around when they left out they little 🏠 . Keep the work up! They still got me smiling

Justin Rhodes sent me over , just subscribed to you, love learning more

You're doing good by making a fence for your 🐖 if I was doing a fence mind will be tangle up and my 🐖 would have escape. Some nice little 🏠 .Great Job ,keep it up

Great video

Nice shelters.

Love how you refer to the pigs as 'piggies' 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 we do the same unashamedly 😂🤣😂😂😂

I'm in FFA and these are a good bunch of sows shouldn't have match trouble selling some piglets

thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Great info, nice to see the evolution of your operation.

New subscriber love your farming style and info.

Excellent breakdown of how you choose your breeding females. Thank you.

great job !!

Very nice vedio..thanks for the info

if you made a tutorial on making the folding shelters and offered it to sell, I think it would be great to know and help out your venture!

Thx for the video btw!

wonderful video

I like this idea.

I am just starting the pig journey. We have one girl that is 5 years old. We just bred her a couple weeks ago to a Duroc male from Shipley. Well, ai. Our plan is to keep the 2 best girls from that litter. Then when we breed her again, keep the 2 best girls from that litter. Then we are going to keep the 2 best girls from those 4.

I came here with justin Rhodes too, good work

THANKS LEARN A LOT

Love the shelters! Wondering if you have an estimate on the materials cost it ran you, per shelter? We're in Maryland. Thanks!

Nice hogs

Love your video! Thanks for sharing! What size of tires do you use? What tool do you use to cut the tires on half?

Thank you for your videos - can you say how you cut the tire? Thank you

Put a few goats in there. They will take care of the weeds.

Wow

If I heard you right you have 12 gilts on a paddock for 6-8 days. How big do you make the paddocks, and about how long before the pigs are back in the same paddock? Thanks for the great video!

Hello Sir, I'm finding your pastured pig systems ( What I've seen of them so far ) interesting. How many litters do your sows/gilts average? I respect your breeding management system. You reminded me of my Dad's approach to breeding Holsteins. He bred for three traits feet, legs, and udders. From 1978 until his passing in 2012. Have you considered using goats for weed control?

Hey do u inject to the piglets and feed them feed for piglets

hi! great video. we just had a guinea hog farrow outside under a tree (even though we provided a port-a-hut). it is getting chilly here on the north east with some rain expected later this week. should we attempt to move the hut over her nest/piglets? they are doing okay with the cold at night but i worry about them getting cold AND wet... they are now 3 days old. any advice?

Is there a max size that the sow can get before she is done away with and replaced

What is your current price on gilts that were just below the cutoff as keepers at weaning? Do you typically offer them as replacements or herd starters to other farmers? Same questions as to your weaned boara?

How do you get your sows to go into the furrowing shelters? Is it a natural instinct or do you have to lure them in? This is our first year with pigs and we built our shelters for our pastured pigs.

I have a sow that farrowed yesterday, not where I'd like her to be. Would you just shelter her in place? I can't think of a way to move her with the nine piglets she has. I can build a shelter today if thats the best route. Thanks!

Nice Video mate, are there any cases of pre mature labor?

Is it better to have more space between shelters? Like around 30 feet or so. It is my understanding that the pigs do better with more space between them.

Jordan what is the reason for replacing the angled back of the farrowing shelter with an iron roof. In stead of ones with a 4 x 8" sheet of plywood?

Sounds like you've bred a good genetic line! How do you control inbreeding? :)

the one sucky thing about pasture pigs. you can't figure out the order of pigs on the tits. the biggest doesn't mean the best genetics. it normally means most food aggressive or the one on that first tit. we wanted ours full-time pasture but what we ended up doing was like a half and half. we let them into an area very close to the house at gilts. then we figure out the order. we read a research paper that most pigs actually always feed off the same tit. most of the time. then once we figure out that for each batch from the 20 mothers. we start grading from there. what we really wish we knew was how much milk each pig was getting out of the tit. we can only really guess. being the first in the tit the most and the back tit the least. which might be the reason why people take runts. as again.. most food aggressive does not necessarily equal best genetics. anyway, we enter the data in and grade what we know. Then from there we either agree with the data or we do a gut keep the breeder moment. sometimes we see a smart pig that works in our system. one that always comes to use. feeds regular looks decent but not the greatest. if she ends up beeing a good mother as well we keep her. sometimes you get these perfect pigs that are dumb as rocks. they look pretty, they get most of their feed when you bring out the small amount of supplemental feed because they are the most food aggressive but they are lazy as hell and you never see them out there foraging and being smart about it. then you see a less pretty pig who barely eats the supplemental feed unless you bring out nuts or something really good. who is out there working it. anyways this is much longer then i thought. it's pretty late for me and i was planting trees while we have all that rain and mud here. instead of the drought we normally have in Cali. so my thoughts and everything else in this is a hot mess. anyway, good luck to you. i hope it works out :)

What is the voltage use in the fence electric current

do you have a video just on the shelters? very interested in this design. I have two gilts hopefully pregnant. Thanks

I will be putting up a fence for the sows next week. I was thinking I would have to use two 15 gauge wires because there are cattle that will be around the fence on the other side and I don't want them to step in. What length of rebar should I cut the posts? Thanks, Cremona

Do you have issues with coyotes? If so, how do you manage them?

Do you have any tips on dealing with coyote and wolf pressure? They can a real problem up here.

I would like a plan for your shelter

What should the average gilt weight be for her being bred? The people I’ve talked to around my way say not to free feed the gilts, ration feed them because I’m not growing them out like a feeder hog. So at 7 months old my gilts are smaller than what im used to seeing a feeder pig look like at 7 months....so am I doing something wrong or what?

I've got a preg sow nursing another sow's litter, have you seen this, any probs? They are mom and daughter, mom = 4th litter. Daughter = 1st litter.

WHAT AGE DO YOU BREED YOUR GILTS AND HOW MANY TIMES A YEAR?

Do you worm them & what do you use "

Lovely pigs. Could I use part of your video in my video? I will surely note the source back here with thanks.

What were the problems with the Yorkshires?

Do you direct sell you pigs or take them to auction

You never did mention what breeds you started with for breeding 10:43

How long do you keep your pigs

How do you track the individuals? I do not see any ear tags or brands...

Do you castrate at all?

Is there no case of snake attack in the pen area?

Where are you guys located

I have a pig in my farm which can not get pregnant is that possible in piggery?

Do you ring your pigs?

You should run some goat's behind the pigs they loves weeds they are browsers nor grazers

pls use cam with image stabilizer

One escaped a year is still too many

You must have a way of tracking which piglet belongs to which mumma as they all tend to mingle together in the pasture.

We have coyotes in the wooded area we want to run our pigs. How do you handle that?

Breeding males or do you AI

I give a pig 3 chances because it takes 3 litters for a sow to pay for themselves. But they have to wean 8? Thats not good enough, i have gilts weaning 16 and parity 6s weaning 12 to 14. But then again i work on a commercial hog farm.

Gilts are females that have never seen a boar...... wtf
