I use that on trees too. I never broke a handle that easy. I only broke one cause it slipped and hit the handle.

I gotta give my sows 2 combo flex pur vaccine a year it will.never be gone

Tamworth is a all round pig just a little slow getting there

Stop it! You'll break KZfaq if you tell the truth 🐷😅

Great informational video thanks 🙏🏾

Chris whats your opinion on nose rings? thanks

The piglets at that age only have those 4 teeth? Thanks I love your channel

Chris that pig that looks like a Hampshire is a butterball. Locks like that one will grow out quick.

I too share your dream Chris but I’m over 60 working a day job and running outta time. It is also my dream to stay on the family farm without needing much from town, which is 30mins away. Hopefully one day. Really enjoy your channel. Keep it coming.🙏 That was funny what you said about being religious and praying. 😂 Also heard it said The Farmer is the biggest gambler there is.

I watched your channel a few years ago, and got back to pigs because of your videos. And this year bought 5 pigs from Melissa. Lol small world. They are great people.

Thanks for another video, it's taking me a while but I'm moving to Virginia at the end of September, I'll be in touch Chris, your videos are really helpful and appreciated, God bless you guys 💪

Great video Chris always great information thanks Mel BTS Diver

Thanks for the information. Always look forward to your knowledge.

I have my first litter of piglets due in about 2 weeks do you recommend giving anything to the newborn piglets (medication vitamins) or just let the sow take care of it?

Johnny and Melissa Sharpe have a super herd of hogs. I bought a Berk boar from them and have had zero trouble out of Ole Dennis and he's sired some of the best performing piglets I have ever raised!!! Super folks

Hi Chris and Darlene :) cute piggies!

We ivermeced those pigletts this morning like you said. All went well , im sure my hearing wiil come back soon , them is noisy little things. Lol

Pigs will do much better against disease if you keep their immune systems strong. Lysine, salt, trace minerals: all that is important to add if it’s not in your premixed feed.

Had a hog 2 years back rip the bite valve out of the barrel, I watched it happen and was able to keep water to them until I got the replacement parts. I now always have supplies on hand for backups when this would happens again. Keep supplies on hand

Great common sense information coming from your years of Real experience 😊 Thanks

Oops! Got my videos mixed up with that last comment. I'm having a hard time keeping up with my friends while I'm on the road - currently in Idaho.

Great conversation Chris! October, huh? I may just have to take a ride if only for the hamburgers (and to see you and Darlene. How is she going to get you in a car for that long ;-)

Good evening I have a gilt that is pregnant and due the 1st week of September she will farrow in her pen what do I need to do to prepare her shelter for her to furrow. Thanks

Great tips and good reminders...thanks. PS , it's like "what's wrong with this picture" watching you without a Red Solo Cup

right about feeding when its light, I have lights in my barn to help see them in winter. if you feed them by hand you know if someone is not eating.

Thanks

Love your videos!

Wish I could keep my pigs pen as dry as yours. Even in a drought I’ve always got mud holes

Coyote tax in my area was steep this year

Hi, been watching the channel for a bit now, my wife and I really appreciate how rational and honest you are at approaching homesteading. We've been looking for a way to make even 10,000 a year off our 5 acre lot to help pay our property tax and some other bills. I garden an acre, but that doesnt wash out to much if any because of the wildlife that surrounds us. In your wisdom and honest opinion, do you think it's worth raising pasture pigs on 1/2 an acre?

Great info Chris as always!

I'm not sure if there's been a run on solo cups or if someone has changed their ways or what. Those animals ain't gonna recognize you without the cup.

Good to see you again Chris. Those are some good looking pigs you have there.

Thank you Chris. I hope you're feeling OK.

5:50 Consider installing a Screech Owl nest box to eat rodents which host ticks and attract pit vipers. This may be a fake Artificial Intelligence video as Chris doesn't have a Solo cup. Pigs don't smell like bacon cooking.

Always appreciate your knowledge

👍

I cant agree more. In the evenings i go talk to the cows , pigs and goats. Its soothing to me. Get to look each one over. The little pigs are like circus clowns.

Thank yall for the information good to see a new video

great vid

Looking good my friend hope you doing well I owe you a call will call soon

Hadn't had hogs in a long time & I do miss feeding up

Good information

May God Bless you Sir.

I think youre an expert

First year for me to try and raise pigs. If nothing else they are a comical bunch. Keep the videos coming , yall make a good team. Thanks for the help

Thanks for the info

Nom Nom Nom

I had to hand deliver 17 piglets from two different duroc gilts that were bred at 6 months old. 6 survived & both sows would never do that again what a nightmare
