Come along for a quick tour of our 167 acre gestation & farrowing farm. We purchased this in the spring of 2020, right when things were getting crazy. Since then we have been hard at work developing this raw piece of mountain land into a sow paradise for our ladies.
Property line fencing was done by snaking hog panels along the line through the trees. Most were carried in by hand.
Water comes from a gravity pressured pond we built 2/3 the way up the property and supplies 118 PSI at the bottom!

You definitely have content for a book and how to buy a hog Farm. What a brilliant use of that piece of Woodland. in the process of buying a replacement Farm and moving in June. Farm Services Agency has some great purchase programs. If you have a sawmill that makes pallets close by. You would be able to move the marginal Timber for pallet stock. it's at least $400 per thousand board feet delivered 2 the sawmill. Peter Vindicator brand

Great video, I have a question at 3:45, the video shows a stream. Is this stream on your property? If it is then you have a potiential power source. An in-stream power would provide you with power year-round.

Very cool. Love the set up. Will you be trenching in the water line due to freezing?
@FarmBuilder
@FarmBuilder 2 года назад
No, we crack the end open and let it continually flow. This past early winter we had a minor drought that dried the pond up for about 2 months. We pumped water out of the larger stream into the waterline to get water around to the pigs.

Jordan, how do you filter the water so it does not plug up the valve system you're using in your water tank? And how often would you have to service that filter you have at the end of the hose?
@FarmBuilder
@FarmBuilder 2 года назад
The water is very clear so no filters necessary. The end of the line in the pond has a large strainer on it, not a small filter.

No algae issues as it gets covered with leaves pretty quickly. We use Premier Pump in Richmond.

Solar powered units.
@robertgaylord314
@robertgaylord314 2 года назад
I understand the low cost approach but slinging feed is taking it physically out of you. 5lb/sow 100 sows 500 lbs/feeding. Do you have a long term idea for metered feeder for sows on pasture?
