The Cost To Feed 100 Pastured Pigs - 5 Tons!
Today we are having 5 tons of feed delivered for our pastured pigs. We have breeding pigs, feeders and new piglets that all need to be fed and they eat A LOT. Let's talk about how much it costs to feed these animals and how long this feed will last us on the farm.

When you have time sir build you a "pallet" out of c channel that your forks will slide in but has a square hole in the middle. Has two uprights as arms to hold the handle loops on the bulk bags. It will get the weight lower for you. Texas

When I was a kid back in the 70s I used to go to my grandfathers farm. My mom grew up on a really big farm outside of Orangeburg, South Carolina. Over 1000 acres. I remember pumping gas in various vehicles because my grandfather had a 300 gallon tank for diesel and a 300 gallon tank for gasoline. He had him built up on a rack that he welded that put them around 6 to 8 feet off the ground and the gas was gravity fed with a traditional nozzle like you have on your tank. I love piglets. They are so cute. They also make damn good BBQ! Around 100 pounds oh boy! I forget what homesteading channel I was watching, but a few days ago I saw a guy call piglets bacon seeds! I almost wet my pants I was laughing so hard.

Have you noticed a difference in gain since changing to a pellet feed? Also take a big tote. Cut the top off and a hole out of the middle on the bottom, big enough to put the opening of the bottom of the bag will go through. Can carry it close to the ground and harder to flip it over

You can always leave the bag on the pallet and haul it to the feeder like that. That way you can keep the center of gravity low to the ground.

@9:23 Do you think if you left the SuperSack of feed on the pallet and brought the whole thing, pallet included, up the hill and into the paddock, lifted up just high enough to clear the ground, and THEN lifted the sack up high right there next to the bulk feeder, maybe that would be safer / more stable? (and thus save you the labor of bucketing feed out from the top of the bag)

Feed costs and ware I live a 40-90 lbs sheep or goat is worth way more then a hog for what it cost to raise one hog to 250 I can raise 3-5 lambs or kidd depending on wheaning weights and have double the meat and double if not triple the money ..here we're Iive isn't not uncommon to be able to buy a 200-300 lbs butcher pig for 80-120 dollars and when the COVID first hit we were able to get big pigs for 50-120 on a regular basis per head as the livestock auction I go to was shipping cattle to feed yards or shipping horses from there monthly horse sale and to not comeback empty they were bringing pigs back from mid west that they were buying for Penney's on the dollars as the big factory farms were flooding auctions with them back there as they didnt want to euthanize the But they had to make room for new piglet's coming in ..
