Bravo!!! I never laughed so hard in a long time. Memories from long ago and lessons learned... Cheers!

This is by far the funniest video I’ve seen in a while. Love pigs. 🐖🐖

That was so funny trying to hold those pigs 🤣

Now that is a real country girl.

That was funny, I must admit, and I also must admit I jumped a little when that pig got shocked for the first time. 😂

Found your channel yesterday so in love with your place have seen your humbleness, had seen Rebecca then...I'm from the Philippines but I enjoyed wacthing videos on homesteading.

Laughing so hard! Between Rebecca trying to transport the pigs and them learning the electric fence,I'm dying! My cousin and I used to have to catch them by grabbing their hind legs. The squeals are deafening!

When I was about 5 yrs old, we had some pigs on the farm that got loose. One was a huge boar. Dad chased that boar with his pickup for a long time before it got tired! ...All throughout the hayfields. The boar head butted the fender of the truck leaving a huge dent. It wasn't long before we had bacon daily for breakfast, and ham dinner on Sundays !!!

My uncle used the wheelbarrow style of moving his pigs. He would grab their back legs and walk them where he wanted them. Not a whole bunch can be done about the squealing, though.😁

Rebecca definitely has heart!

Good job Evan and Rebecca, you got them moved safely, now to get them use to the electric fence. You’ll get things worked out for you all and have pork this winter. Thanks for sharing with us, Fred.

No pigs were harmed during the making of this video. The pig moving attempt was funny and the cage seemed to work out much better. I believe that your Border Collies wanted a shot at herding them over to the new digs.

Use a 2x10 or 2x12 cut to fit inside the feeder so you can screw through the side and block off half the access!

I just feel the urge to scream my announcement.. I finally put in an offer on a 10 acre farm in Scotland, Ar... I'm so nervous and excited

Rebecca you did a great job! Lol

Love your channel😀. I like the fact you do things right the first time. I wish I could have built my homestead as first class as you & Rebecca are. Of course that was 30 years ago. Keep going and you will get it built. I can tell you from experience the memories you guys are making will serve you well in old age. Best of luck to you!

Great video love to hear the pigs squeeze!♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

great job learn a little every day

The pigs look great

Rebecca, you’re one true trooper. Did not give up trying to move the pigs by hand. They are loud squealers. Could probably shatter Tupperware

That brought back a fond memory of me and my sister trying to help our grandpa move a young pig years and years ago! I’m going to send her a link to your video then call her to reminisce! Let me just tell you, you guys got off easy, our pig gave us more than just screams when we picked him up 🐖 💩 😂😂🤣

Dude, you're losing wieght. Working hard in the hot summer sun will do that to you! Glad to see someone else who sweats as hard as I do when they're busting their ass on a job!

Like closing time at the bar.

That was to funny y'all keep up the good work

Enjoyed this segment of video. You & your wife are so cool, calm & collect in going about your daily chores.

They seemed calm enough to put a leash/rope around them & guide them with a bucket of food to the new enclosure. But I guess you figured the cage was the way to go.. Good job!

A for effort rebecca !! They are so cute🐷, they'll get used to ther fence😂 btw, love the guitar music played in the background!

This entire video is hilarious.

Evan you have a most determined wife she must have picked up that pig at least 4 times till she gave up. So much fun watching though.

OMGOSH! THAT WAS SO FUNNY!

Pigs are a hoot 😁

Really enjoyed the video

Picking them up was so funny! But wouldn't they be happier if they had more space in the new pen? It seems kind of small for the three of them. But I'm sure they love the brush and grass!

Oh those pigs! Hahaha hahaha. 💞👍

👍👍👍👍👍great job

Great vid

Funny as, You should have taken both at once , seen as you used the cart. 👏🏻👍🏼

Awesome

Hi.... Evan and Rebecca nice to see you both, thank you for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👋 👕🐔🐓🐥🐕🐖🐈🌱🐐🎥👍👍👍

There is 3 ways of moving pigs, 1 use a bucket of food and they will follow as they are always looking for food, 2 you could of backed up the truck and put them in the back and 3 use a board and bat which is usr too guide them the board one side and the bat the other which is use as to guide it the is used too block its vision on one side so it has to go in one direction in which is the way you want it too go, Coming from a person who worked on a commercial pig farm for 14 yrs

Pigs feed trough needs a roof. I’m glad she didn’t get hurt picking them up.

Thumbs up

tie a rope onto one front leg. This will stop it when you pull on it. Get a 3 ft +/- long cane or stick and tap it on the nose to control direction. This will work on any size hog. When showing pigs in FFA you show them with a tap on the nose. The rope is used during the teaching process.

Evan, would it be OK with you if Rebekah adopts me: I'd love to be treated the way she treats those piggies! :-)

What fun Saturday morning viewing.....to funny...enjoyed thoroughly!

That's always awesome when you are able to get the animals to work for you as well as give you great food! Hope your back is doing good and Rebeka is staying safe at work.

That was quite the video, I imagine it was quite scary moving from inside to outside then being assaulted by that big bad fence. I am sure they will settle and be much happier outside. Good luck

Thanks for documenting the progress. We are thinking about pigs for next year.

👍👍

wasn’t a great idea to carry the pigs , huh ? but made great vid footage, way to go ! : )

Check out the wooden platform/trough the Kevin uses on Living Traditions Homestead.

thx

I had the same issue I Cut just a pie shape out of the drum just enough to get there head in

I'm so happy that you were able to finally love the pigs. Absolutely hilarious video in that aspect 😂 Evan, I know you follow Living Traditions Homestead. Have you thought about using the pig feeder design Kevin is using! Hopefully you can get their new home built quickly. Hopefully it doesn't take too long to train them 😂 As always, I love your channel so much!! You and Rebekah are so fun and personable!! Thank you for sharing

The gate latch would be a good way to hang the panels

Love the channel... Indiana here. Send us some rain over here...lol. You guys take care.

We use to cut a old hot water tank in half and used that it worked for at least 15 years. Welded legs on it from scrap steel.

ya'll forgot to factor in the whole piggy drama queen factor lolol

😍😍😍

hahahaha very good

on pig feeders try a thick rubber like MUD FLAPS thick is good . They can open with the snout .. Hope that helps good luck

Well at least you got them to their new home.🤣😂

Next time when you get pigs, pick them up every day or so and they will not freak out so much. But to me that crate looked a lot easier on your back.

Evan, on the feed trough, would it be worth it to put a piece of plywood over it to protect the feed from getting wet, or would it get in the way ? Rebecca's too funny ! Maybe tie some pink ribbon tape on the hot wire ? Thumbs up !!!

Love your idea on the pig wagon. I think I saw a video where they put peanut butter on the end of the pig water nozzle to get them to find it and use it. I like you take the time to electrify and teach the pigs about electric. I watch a you tube channel where they haven't gone through the effort and their pigs have broken out of their pen just about every video. Fun to watch him chase pigs back in their pen every day but, not very good use of his time and busy schedule. Like the old saying... an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Y’all are cute . Lol Goodness. How about a collar and lease next time .cage was good. You might need a top over the trough because of rain .

When you set up the larger area remember water a distance from the food to force them to walk between. The poly irrigation holes makes for good animal water setups with using sections of metal pipe to protect where the animals can chew on it. A simple 0.5gph dripper hidden inside a steel pipe to stop chewing will fill a water container nailed to the ground below it with constant fresh water and if that becomes not enough a second dripper to double it or up to a 1gph size.

We used to have a pig that would climb the fence to be with us.

It was a good try - so funny to see their reactions, though it was obvious they were used to you both and not afraid - just ANNOYED!! 🐷🐷🐷

You called that Evan. Maybe you would have had better luck if you had covered their heads.? I don't know anything about pigs but it works with cats... lmao.☮

Since they got shocked near the waterer, my suggestion is to move it away from the fence line and closer to their home area

Needed a good laugh. Bet you won't pick them up again like that. Pugs do squeal good. They will do ok.

Great video.. It must of been hot out there...

Pre-Fried Bacon 🐖

👍

😊❤️❤️❤️

I'm sure you have figured a solid way to do this already but, what about a cage on a plastic sled and pull it with the ATV

Did you have an Aha moment? Should have cleaned the food trough before hammering it in? In Germany, when the kids are playing loudly or a small child is whining, we say; Are there pigs being slaughtered here? I like how you start your videos by showing a few minutes of the "topic" before the introduction. Makes it more intriguing.

I laughed so much during this video, my hubby thought there was something wrong with me, cause i had to cover my mouth when laughing, love and blessings from Scotland :) :)

Soak your feed in water over night. The pigs will love it and it will start to break down. Your pigs will grow out much faster.

Put some lard on that pig a try it again Rebecca! 😀😜

Put a divider into the pig feeder. So they can’t get into it.

I think you are supposed to pick them up by their 2 pack feet.

Sorry, I couldn't help but giggle when the pigs hit the wire and then ran across the pen to hit another wire.

Hence the expression of squeal like a pig. HAHA

Hey that is funny. Want to try a leash.

You should check out Living Traditions Homestead Pig feeding system Looks great and we will be building one like that for our next pigs

haha poor babies. traumatized... lol

Can you add a link to where you got the brass fitting’s ?

Oh, I think the has the trough narrow enough they have a hard time getting in it.

11:00 minutes of the video: Cut the feeders in half so the feeder is too small for them to stand or lay in. Or half 2 sets of feeder, large and small. The small feeders for now and the large feeders for when the pigs grow too large to stand or lay in the big feeders.

I hope they ain’t allergic to poison oak.

Rebecca has a good heart, but a pig that size is a handful and the cage worked better. They will get used to the electric fence and learn to stay away from it. They have really grown in a short period of time.

use a dog lead take them walkies

Put it in a crate and carry it that way.

What happened to your new tractor?

😂😜💖💖🐱‍👤

Hahahaha

if you read the instruction on any good fence charger you will see they all tell you to install l 3 galvanize 5/8"x 6 foot long ground rods 10 feet a part, i see so many you tube videos saying oh i tried a one wire 14 ga electric wire for my pigs my cows a but they always getting out, but you seen them install a fencer and one or 2 1/4" copper painted rods 3 feet long, all is good like that until you dont have snow or rain for a week, they can hear that click in the wire and when its not there, dont mater how good you insulate the wires any mustier at all grounds a little at that 70 to 80,000 volts, with out good ground rods you can buy a $500 fencer like me, and with out good grounding, you just as well buy a $25 one, any one of my charger will burn the grass or new brush growth off in the line, so any small short never stops it, the eletric training wire should have been set up long ago were there were, all you need is a 5 foot long peace of wire in there pen cutting it in half leaving a 3 foot opening from one side to the other, the older they are the more harder it is to get them to all ways respect that wire, i can take a wire down and they will never cross, i put a wooden pellet for gates were i know i will have the cross over, with no wire on it.. just lead the pigs with a pail of feed,, they follow you any were, if you carry them, hang them from both back legs and walk for the feeder just drive 2 1/2 inch re-bar in the ground crossing over the top of the feeder so they cant get in, drive them in deep at the same angal as the feeder, and tie wire the top ends to the fence or drive 2 more strait down to tie to..

Rebecca I still think you could have moved those pigs by hand, if they wouldn't have been so camera shy.
