Newbie here and did a binge watch yesterday and subscribed. Great oration and delivery. Very professional. Like that you are kind to your animals. Greetings from Ireland.

Good plan! You've got quite a operation going

Great video! I'm starting up a pig operation in Minnesota and found this video very useful. 👌

Great video/ channel, I’ve been binge watching for a few days now !

You do a great job explaining what you are doing.

U are an inspiration... Thankyou for all the videos... -From Nagaland with Love

This is really excellent information. Thanks! And thanks to Justin Rhodes to locating you for us all!

Dude exactly what I like to see. You spent the extra cash on the heavy duty gates for cattle. So I wanna no are they able to life the gates and push through let me no man. Have a good day

Wow! So glad your enterprise is going so well.

Really enjoy your videos!

Love your videos. Thanks

Seeing how happy the litters are and the mommas it makes me want to start my own operation just don’t have the time or money for something like this and with Covid hard to find good hogs

Nice work! Cannibals, chronic crushers, and those that farrow in bad places are good candidates for an immediate trip to freezer camp. Breed the ones with the best mothering instincts, eat the rest.

I have always used electric fencing fences for both dry sows and farrowing pens. Our farrowing huts are a design which looks like a half water tank with two sheets of corrugated sheeting, Pens for a year on barley stubble consist of two wire 30 meters apart, separated by a wire spring gate every thirty meters, moving the farrowing hut after each wean. We started at 250 sows, weaning 24 piglets/sow/year, we increased up to 2000 sows weaning 26/piglets/sow/year. We need a link to post pictures here for comparison.

Thank you for telling the TRUTH et having a plan

im buying two one month old feeder pigs next month, still very anxious about the cold and how they will fare in it.

Hey Jordan! I love your videos. We are raising 3 different breeds of pigs with 3 different boars. We keep each breed in their own paddock. My issue is trying to catch piglets to wean in 3 separate paddocks. Do you have any ideas? Your piglet corral is great but I cant justify that for each group

@FarmBuilder I just found you recently on KZfaq, have enjoyed watching a bunch of your pig videos. I am a fellow veteran getting in to raising pigs for food for my family and piglets to sell. I have some questions about the business side of the pigs, was curious if you could help me.

Send those cannibals to the butcher.

Looks great for the sows. Once the littles jump that board, you will need some smaller wire at the bottom of the bull fencing to keep them with their sow. It won't take too long and they will be out and about.

Some nice litters

How long do you keep your sows around? When your down with them do you market them the same as 6 month feeder pigs?

I may have missed it in this video or maybe it’s in another, but what does your water setup look like for this?

Just started our pig operation in ND I want to do the outside farrowing pen but man I'm so nervous about winter here. Ive seen -60 windchill before its no pretty and it makes me nervous

👍👍

Is it possible to get a general plan for your portable farrowing shelters?

💕

👍

Sir, What breed, or breeds are you breeding with? Those are some healthy looking animals.

What are the main reasons you chose the Duroc / Hamp cross?

I must have watched this video 10x and still need some sized kick in the behind to wake me up and fathom that pigs can farrow in minus 18°C - no problem. But yes. They are dry. And reasonably protected by the shelters. And camped in. Cost-effectively. And practically. In relation to potential losses. With multi-purpose panels. When God allows me to. Am I certainly pumped with knowledge. I have a question. Will it be practical, when space/land allows, to have a stationary farrowing paddock, and not move the farrowing setup every time/move the sows and piglets to an adjacent paddock. Maybe only 40 yards distant, after two weeks? Meaning the farrowing paddock in the centre with eight paddocks around it. E.g. so laid out in an initial terrain layout/ Many thanks.

What breed/Cross are your pigs? Hamshire+ Duroc+?

What do you use for fence and do they respect it

Thanks Jordan. What brand is the fencing/gates? Thanks

What about if it rains? Are they ok?

Your pens are still alittel bit to small for the mom and babies to lay down at the same time

Do you grow your pigs out and sell to a processor?
