It is a thrill to watch good people learn and I will never get over the light in your eyes when you learn something new. I'm sooo eeiiiii happy for you.
You are now an official pig herder. Congratulations. Do that with a few more animals and you will be on your way to becoming the next Dr. Doolittle. Best Wishes. Grandpa Jones. 😃
Those are good hogs. And most hogs have the same kind of disposition. Sure, you can find some mean ones on occasion, but most hogs are smart, happy and enjoyable when you keep them well fed and comfortable. I think you're hooked now.
They're not my pigs and I'm already attached! I wouldn't be able to eat them later, they'd end up as pets 😅 I appreciate seeing them raised in a humane and caring way. You'll be a pig wrangler in no time.
Animals will usually follow the bucket so well done on getting the job done relatively painlessly. Your literal hands-on approach to them has paid off as it should do with all farm animals. 👍
Those pigs seem very happy..stuffing their belly ,taking a mud bath.. scrething their self's to clean their skin. Very clean and happy. Pigs..you can see how they already respect you .
Good job. Better safe than sorry. You carefully plan and then try things out. It is awesome that your family can trust you to make wise decisions. It seems your whole family is the same. thoughtful and careful. I love your whole family. Penelope, you make me smile just a lovely child. Penelope is a greek originated name - meaning "weaver". Penelope has such a gentle spirit.
Jason, you and your family just made my day.. I am clapping for you for a job well done..Love baby steps!! They would have been fine out there all night since they are aware now of the electric fence..
Jason your great daddy. Your brothers are obeying you already. That premier fencing seems so easy to set up and have it electrified. Need to get myself a roll to give it a go to keep chooks in and have some BERNICES. I remember my kiddies making mud pies. Time goes by so quickly the kiddies grow so quickly. You and Lorraine are making some wonderful memories for Penelope. Great video, thankyou xxx
This is a great video. For a complete newbie like myself and I'm sure for others, it's what we need to see, to say "Hey, I CAN DO this." It gives me so much encouragement. Well done family.
Pigs are so smart, scratch their belly's, they will roll over like a pet puppy, I had a boar that was 400lbs just as tame as could be, just bc I spent so much time with him, good job, now they could stay out in that fenced in area bc they now respect the fence
Watching them pigs is kind of relaxing. When the pigs do what you want you feel like hugging them. It's good that you praised them. Jason you love it !! Good job.
I enjoy all your videos. It’s really a big change from being a “city mouse”, to a successful homesteader! The property and animals are looking excellent! You and your family are a joy to watch. I am homesteading right along with you from a city in Florida. I have never even seen any live chickens or pigs for that matter. 🙋🏻♀️👍🏻
Awesome. Great job!! The brothers have a caring, sweet Papa - I like that about you Jason. It is fun to watch the nervousness & excitement when things work out. Keep up the good work. ;) Bless your homesteading family. "Hey Brothers" shirts might be cool.
you should put a small cut section of fence wired up in the corner of the stall when you initially get them; they will learn about the fence from day one. Justin does this
Nice pig shelter Jason! Loraine, that is a great idea to premoisten the planting mix before you put it in the cells. We have to do that too. We didn't do it other years and the water wouldn't even soak down into the cells. It was very frustrating. I like Penelope's mud hole. She is very cute. Our pigs loved the shelter they had and we put straw down and that is where they slept. They would scratch themselves on it too! We had to put cross braces on the opening because they were always lifting it and that kept it sturdier. Our pigs would expect us to scratch them every time we fed them or came around the pen. We were lucky, a neighbor had pig panels he gave us. They were very secure! You just have to put the fence staples on the inside of the posts, otherwise they can push the panels off. Great job moving them! They will follow food. If they get loose, just put out food and they will come back! So delicious!
SO COOL & CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!! You did so well & trust yourself more Jason as animals feel fear. This is going to be an amazing adventure. Cheers Denise- Australia
Jason, Lorraine and Penelope, you have the nicest pigs. You might think of a smaller waterer for the pigs too, like the one next to the green house. Best of Everything
This is so much like me and the barn cat I got to keep the rodents out of my vegetable garden. He can only be out for now when I am, to make sure he doesn’t climb over my six foot fence. When he is scared, he always runs to the house😀
Hello there I’ve been a subscriber to Justin Rhodes for quite a long time and I have recently subscribed to your channel for several months now and I’m really liking what you guys are putting out there on RU-vid. You guys inspire me everyday to keep bettering my self to have a better and more sustainable homestead!!!! To help build a better and more awesome bond with your pigs you should go out and buy a horse brush and bolt it on the the front 2x4 they will love you for that!!!! If you decide to try this and do it would be so cool to get a shoutout!!!!
great job Jason :) you had me smiling for sure. Now you saw that this breed roots pronto so yea...if you're going to put them on pasture be prepared that it will be tore up. But their disposition is really nice & easy. Thanks for posting and I'm excited for you guys how the homestead is growing.
It is so much fun to watch your vlogs about the brothers. They have truly come to trust you, and you can tell they're very comfortable and not stressed at all--except for that eeiii! Great job to all of you! What are your plans for the hill after the pigs?
You are so cute, like the new father of newborns. You soon realise thet you are over worrying. The Brothers are chill but you need to do the same. Remember that anxiety is one emotion that is easily communicated so you need to be a little bit more chill and all will be well.
