I had a sow that would birth and raise awesome litters...first litter was 15, largest litter was 21! And she was calm and easy going. I certainly miss her, best sow I ever had (so far)
@user-kv2pt4lu9yКүн бұрын
Wow! Most sows had a max of about 15 teats at the CAFO farrowing barn. We fostered a lot of pigs, depending on births and teats with milk.
@ryanforbes3021Күн бұрын
@@user-kv2pt4lu9y she had 16 teats and she was long, lots of room for piglets to line up. I didn't have to supplement any, she had enough milk for all her babies. 1 strand of electric wire would keep her in and it didn't even have to be on!

Those lactating sows are in great shape for breeding stock! I spent 18 months at a CAFO farrowing operation and that was the body condition that we worked toward.

Great Tutorial - That knot is what I know as Donald's Knot, - great that it is tied outside the strainer jaws - are you pulling out radially hard enough on your crank handle as you make your wraps, this makes the wraps tighter - this knot relies on the compression increasing in the first set of wraps as the load comes on - although not necessary I also do the second set of wraps - just two then snap of, saves getting the wire cutters out.

Is there any bloating you on grazing corn? Must be give some hay before start grazing corn? And in dryland conditions any risks of grazing full corn? If we mix with sunflowers and other spicies what varieties we should select in dryland conditions you suggest. Thank you for your videos really great ways.

What % of your farm do you feel you are ‘pushing them for non-selective’ foraging? What is your breed back %? What % max, do you think you are stocking your acreage? I’m at the point where I’m trying to determine how to maximize my farm, and you seem to have this same sort of mentality.

When you lift this, does seed still fall on the ground because you haven’t disengaged the drive wheels at the hub? I’ve got narrow plots , I’ll have to be doing a lot of stopping and turning around didn’t know if I would have to get off and disengage the drive wheel pin at the hub every time.
