Wild how she wouldn’t eat the food but went for the charcoal. That’s super interesting. Wow! She knew what she needed. Smart to offer them that.

Jason, you taking quick action with the sick pig made all the difference. Great job with the supplements. 👍👍 We love watching. ♥️♥️

It's so obvious how much you all care about your animals!💝🐖🐖🐖 I've heard that dehydration can cause a pig not to eat. Maybe, since this one 🐖 is smaller than the other two, they're not letting her get her share 🤔 Maybe you could feed and water 💦 her separately until she catches up 🤷🏻‍♀️ P.S. Almost at 200K subscribers!!!🎉🎊🎉🏅 Let's get them there, so Like,. Subscribe, and SHARE everyone!!!👍🤓🙋👩🏼‍🌾We all know they're the BEST homesteaders on KZfaq!!

Loraine my mom used to make what she called refrigerator stew. She'd take the leftovers when they got to be too abundant and she'd dump it all into one pot, season it up and that was dinner. It was always good always plenty. My mom and dad were raised during the Great Depression and our family of 8, 6 kids, never wasted anything and thank God we never went hungry!

This has become one of my favorite channels to watch, thanks for making fun videos! I love your energy🌿💛

Glad the sow is doing better. Maybe some pumpkin seeds and food grade diatomaceous earth to help with any possible parasites for all of your critters. DE also helps with chickens in their dirt bathing. Dinner looked awesome.

Jason's "Hog up the hose" joke wasn't funny, but the goofy way he delivered it cracked me up. 😄

Observation is the best skill you can develop as part of your stewardship. You did good. Thank you for showing your care.

Aw! She's so cute with her head sticking out of the straw like that. =) You're a good pig dad. =)

We’ve also had an issue or two with our pigs in the past…talk about a sigh of relief when they start feeling better. Almost turns you into a novice veterinarian. We love your channel, man…good stuff!

extra paranoid and worrisome probably saved her life, good job Jason!

Always have a vets number. You never know when an emergency will happen. Unless there isn't one in your area. We have an on call vet that only ads $25 to the charge. Has saved many animals for us.

Yes, establish a relationship with a few local large animal vets in advance. It's important to get to know them and them to know your animals before you have an emergency. This will make working with them to treat your animals much easier in emergency situations.

Raw pumpkins cut up with the seeds and all might help her out a lot, I give it to all of my animals when they don't feel good in the wintertime! I harvested over 100 Cherokee tan pumpkins to have for me and the animals! Not only is it a natural de-wormer, but they are packed with so many dense nutrients!

I'm glad she's okay. She looked like it hurt to move her back end. I dunno. I know nothing about raising pigs. Hope it's all in the past now. It's so good to see how well you take care of your animals.

Poor piggy. My pigs love charcoal. They eat it and play with it haha 😂

I am so impressed with you guys. Especially since you own a Harvest Right Freeze drier before you ever bought a tractor!!! That is super smart. So glad to see your girly pig is feeling better.

They say animals intuitively know what they need when it comes to their minerals , especially when they don't feel good. That was a great call on the activated charcoal....just like the hospitals use when they want to neutralize some thing in your stomach that shouldn't be there. Glad she recovered so quickly, Y'all have a Blessed day.

My pig Petunia became sick this fall. Lethargic, no appetite, wouldn't come out of her pig palace. I purchased a rectal thermometer and discovered she was running a fairly strong fever. Got a shot of antibiotic from my vet. Within 12 hours Petunia was back.

Hi Jason! So good that your pig is doing better. You are becoming very wise with how to take care of your animals. I am so sad to hear about Fuzzy Muggins! I have to say that I did enjoy watching Lorraine give her a hair cut! As I watch your videos I feel great joy for you and Lorraine and Penelope. Your property is beautiful! Do you have hills to go sledding like you did at your previous property? I can only imagine what it will be like five years from now. Have a wonderful evening!

🐷 So pleased she got better 😊

Man that pig worried me too. I'm glad you figured out what to give her. Quick thinking on your part & persistent's in pushing her to eat/drink what you had for her. Great job~ 👍🤗❤

Awww man you missed it, a great dad joke opportunity. When Lorraine said the jalapeños might take a little time to reconstitute you could've asked where the thyme was or said something like, "Just thyme, no rosemary?" Next time, you got this! Loved the hog joke.

My pig ate plastic that was in the food bin that I collect at the primary school of our kids. She was sick for 2 days, ben then recovered. Pigs are so resilient. Greetz from Holland!

It sure looks like you did all the right things for your sick pig. It's good you picked up on her not acting normal so quickly. She wasn't coughing or having a runny nose so it was probably a stomach thing. That was fascinating watching them eat that burnt wood!

I really love your simple and beautiful outlook on life it really grounds me as an over thinker, and I’ll always be here for it.

It's a great feeling to help your animals feel better and overcome sickness. You did good. She looks back to normal for sure!💖

Great work Jason! My grandpa used to give his pigs activated charcoal (which is burned hardwood). Always 21 days before breeding and when any one of the pigs felt sick or sluggish. Watch for her to evacuate. 💩🐖💦

Jason, I catch myself smiling as I listen and watch. You and the family are my favorites! God bless you!

Lorraine can you show us how you fixed the cornbread including fixing the parchment paper in your muffin pan? Love your family

I think that means minerals are important for the animals to have in those covered areas. Their bodies know what is missing just like the charcoal.

The charcoal was helpful. So glad she’s ok. I enjoy your channel so much. Thank you for sharing. ❤️😁🌹

Jason, you are the ONLY person on KZfaq I've heard say the word spigot correctly!! I know it's goofy to be weird about a word, but thank you for saying this the right way!! 😄

Glad you trusted your instincts with the piggy! Thanks for covering it in your video! Also I miss Fuzzy Muggins!! 😢

Yes, be prepared. You can give a shot, minerals and fix leg problems. You did wonders for Mr. Pig. Your love and caring did it..

It was so nice to see your Genuine Love and concern for Miss Piggy 🐷. Your a Good Man Jason. God Bless 🙌🏼 Peace Be. We Love You and Your Family's Channel.😊 I even got worried at first.

Love your healthy pigs!!! RIP Fuzzy Muggins. ❤

So glad your pig is much better.

I’m curious are y’all gonna get the cow a buddy.? He’s so lonely. I’m so glad piggie is ok I’ve been around pigs my whole life some pigs are touchy that stew looked delicious love your videos

You handled the pig pretty good. God bless.

Definitely get a medical kit for the animals and meet up with a vet.

My Pop Pop used to say if you have livestock, you have deadstock and everything in between. He was so right. Glad your pig is doing well now.

I was holding my breath. Grateful that she is OK

Thankful your piggie is better!! Love seeing Lorraine in the kitchen! You are always so thankful for your blessings! Have a nice evening!!

I love how your family is building your homestead together as a team. Your daughter is going to be a tuff girl who will depend on her parents judgement on boy's. It's going to be like my dad he better know how to use a shovel and get my work done before he takes you out. Dad ment to say his work why dad has coffee. Yep that's a great dad .

thanks for showing the reality of live-stock, when they have problems. Glad the pig began to act like a pig, and was better. sorry about fuzzy-wazzy. the stew really looked delicious, and the freeze dryer is great for saving harvests. have a great week.

Jason that's what I'm talkin about God is continue to bless you and your family and you nurtured the pig back to health I continue to pray for the little piglets to produce babies rest in peace fuzzy mugging truly love your content great job on beefy boy 1 just truly love y'all and your wife's cooking always make my mouth water Grace and peace

Morning Jason n Lorianne This is why we all love you guts cuz your real.honest.and learning with all of us to

Mom would always throw leftovers together and call it throw together. To this day it would become a meal that we didn't have a whole bunch of one item. Today was my kale that was wilting, last 4 carrots and the last strips of bacon. Stir fry in a stir of butter. Garlic powder. It keeps your cost down at the grocery store and no waste. Do waste food with cost now. Chilli and cornbread looked good. Glad the three stooges are doing better. I still think of them that way when you first wanted a name list. Take care and blessing

Cue the snare drum, “hog up the hose!” 🥁 Ba dump sissssss!!!😂 #dadjokes #sidelook

Your window in the dinnigroom looks so good!

you don't need a whole building up on the hill, you just need a roof to collect the rainwater, and it only needs to be just taller than the totes.

Great topic extremely well presented. Thanks for sharing.

I love pigs. I was so happy to see that spot girl is feeling better

No better channel!! I can't wait to start but until then I watch and learn

If you put any partially burned limbs from a burn pile in with the pigs it will both give them charcoal and give them something to play with.

Wow! That is a large amount of water quickly. Definitely would be worth a shed up the mountain to collect water!😀

Might be to your advantage to make friends with your local vet, just in case! Love you guys!! God bless!!

Hi..... Jason and Lorraine nice to see you love watching your videos homestead Beautiful good job keep it up 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐣🐥🐕🐄🐖🌱🌺🌻🌼🌸🌷🏡🎥👍👍👍

So glad the pig is feeling better! I've been wanting a freeze dryer for years..I'm hoping this is the year. It's just my husband and I now..but still want one.

We had a sick one a few weeks ago, scared me, learned of LA 300, couple shots later she was fine. I think a new law started on the first that requires you to go through a vet to get it. Glad yours is good.

First think I do when I think I have a sick animal is take a Temp then I go from there. Glad she is doing better

I love yr videos they are perfect thanks for yr hard work :-)

Keen eye to detail for immediate remediation of the issue! Thanks for sharing this with us!

So sad about fuzzy muggins I loved that chicken but Im gonna have to get me a fridge magnet a Bernice magnet would be good too guys...RIP Fuzzy Muggins...❤

I found your chanell 3 days ago and have binge Watched a year and a half of videos up to date! I have thoroughly enjoyed watching your family and farm. The transformation to your land is epic, all your effort payed off.

Interesting hearing about your pig! I don't think they get sick very often.❤❤🐷🐖🐗🐗

Great care you took to help the pigger! Very smart on your part to know what to give and quick! God bless ❤️ love you gave beef parts to the chickens

I went to TSC and saw they are now selling harvest right freeze driers (small). What a surprise!!!

Dr. Jason. You are so caring and you know your animals. Keep a record so you can keep dates of who and how she was acting and what you did to help. It may come in handy later. Good video.

You should mix your dry food with water and apple cider vinegar, it makes a slop. By the way put a garden hose on the tank and that way you can water your animals and garden.do get more totes. Be careful they don't have had chemicals in them.

Glad your pig is feeling well. You’re a great homesteader! Dinner looked delicious, Lorraine!

Hey your tote needs to be covered and protected from the sun. A lot of nasty things can grow in there. Not so much in the wintertime, but be careful.

Glad the pig is ok! Thanks for sharing!

I’m glad she well..and looks back to normal.. I heard that pigs get pneumonia …

Thank you for sharing your reality. Congrats on your new pantry! Glad the pig pulled through!

Totally reminds me of when I get some sort of stomach bug and I just want everyone to leave me alone, cuz I don't feel good. Alas... some saltines, 7-up, and pepto, later and I'm right back to the old me!

Just since I started watching Homesteaders I've seen alot with the animals and they can catch pneumonia they cough and you did right and maybe she had a blockage but who knows what she had going on .

That's a pretty pig pen I think the trees bring it out ,,I hope that one pig gets better it could be the weather got him going crazy

Poor piggy, glad it got better. All the supplements sound good and looks like it worked!

Thrive Life has great Freeze Dried food and you are on the right track being able to freeze dry food for long term storage. Glad to see your pigs are acting like pigs again. Experience there is nothing like it as we live and learn.

Thanks for the charcoal tip! We keep pigs too. Maybe she just needed a day to let the charcoal settle in to do it's thing? Awesome drone shot too. Wonderful video. You all were an inspiration for us getting our farm and KZfaq channel going. 💜

FYI - you can capture roughly 600 gallons of water per 1000 sf of catchment surface per 1 inch of rain.

Thanks for sharing your info on looking after animals. Blessings to your family 🤗💜🇨🇦

We had several piggies, about 2 days old that mom refused to care for. One by one they acted just like that. We gave each one Gatorade, water, formula, and each one ended up needing an antibiotic shot. Within 24hrs of antibiotic & Gatorade they started perking up, 2 days they were back to eating

We raised our first pigs this last year and one of them just stopped eating, wouldn’t get up, only drank water and just super lethargic and felt like she had a fever. I got a syringe with a drench tip, and gave her activated charcoal, and then apple cider vinegar with salt. And supplements we gave them in their feed daily was apple cider vinegar, diatomaceous earth, and kelp. This next round of pigs I’m planning on giving them free choice charcoal throughout raising them. My pig guy says that most likely what happened was the pig ate something on pasture that didn’t sit well with them. Having that drench tip is a must have! You guys did everything right, and having that drench tip will up your treatment game, and is not that expensive! 😉

Congrats on the 200k, enjoy your content.

Oh I had wondered about Fuzzy Muggins. Going to have a look and see about a magnet I think. Vale Fuzzy. Blessings from Australia ❤️

I use colostrum when the pigs aren’t feeling right. That has always worked well for me.

You should have some Metacam on the farm, some painkiller and inflammatory to treat. But I think you did great with the pig helping her!

The feeder pigs are getting big!

LOL you said ( I can't let you hog up all the hose, we need to feed other animals. ) ( It is GIVE WATER THE other animals. ) LOL

Never had a freeze dried jalapeno, but I do love the sweet pickled jalapenos (cowboy candy)

Love your videos! Thank you for always keeping it real❤️

Glad the feeder pig is feeling better, would be a huge loss to lose a third of your production. 😮

I've had a kunekune piglet that got sick once and I thought for sure it was going to die. Wouldn't eat, wouldn't move much. Turns out it had worms and once we gave her a shot of dewormer, she improved dramatically over the course of about 24 hours. Joel Salatin talks about using charcoal for a old school "cure all" for pigs that supposedly works wonders. I have yet to try that with my pigs, but plan on it if I ever get another sick one.

Love lentils when they cook down and make everything creamy and yum!

Love the double fence in the feeder pig pen Jason.

Well done Jason I know nothing about chicken raising or pig welfare but you seem to be doing a great job take care Peter Cape town

Love the orange peel treat. 😂
