PASTURED PIGS | fencing, shelter & training them to the fence 

Thanks for sharing your process. We have a pig chasing story but didn’t lose them quite as long as y’all. We just had to chase them across the field and my wife body slammed one WWE style. I do use a training pen to get them used to the electric. Enjoy watching y’all. Chuck from Sheraton Park Farms

Thanks for sharing your story - wish I’d seen this video before we brought the two piglets home yesterday. Put them in the electric fenced pen inside a welded wire fence, and within about 3 minutes, they’d each blasted through the electric fence and under the welded wire fence and taken off across the hay field and into the woods. Long gone. Neighbors sighted them this morning, and this evening, a flock of wild turkeys apparently scared them home. Fences have been reinforced, so hopefully they’re home for the duration now.

I remember that old three (4) little piggies story. Wee wee all the way back home. Thanks for the videos Pete. 👍🏼

I really like your approach to farming.👍🇺🇸

What an entertaining story with a great lesson! Thank you.

We used premier net fence like you let them out after awhile of getting used to the stall they seemed pretty excited to be able to go play in the dirt till one hit that fence they all ran full steam back into the barn and stared back at the opening didn't think they would ever come out we had 2 layers of fence and 1 still got out looked out the window and he was playing with the goat and angus bull like they where old buddies

Always a joy to watch.

Nearly 10,000 subscribers Pete! Onward and upward!

Great to see some more of the pigs and the infrastructure :-) Thanks and greatly interesting!

I wonder why the previous farmer had them in a dark no light environment? Pete you are wonderful. I have been watching all your videos. Take care and thank you

Whoever says he is a murderer just go away pls stop hating this guy

Your videos are so great!

Glad I found your channel, Pete. We are beginner homesteaders and live in Jamestown, just a few hours from you. May plan a visit sometime to buy some food. We’re looking to add a few dexters this fall

I enjoyed the video ! I bet it won"t take long for them to start clearing that up .

You can tell you’re from the north. When you were on a knee talking and flipped that feed pan over. I was like. Watch out for the snake man. It’s a 50/50 chance that a snake is under something you flip over at my house.

Professor Pete ✨👍😇

Man, I laughed throughout this video. I'd feel kind of bad about it, but you were smirking a lot, so I guess it's okay. LOL

Great video man thanks for sharing if I did not live so far away I would come help you out for a few weeks but that’s a long drive from south east Alabama

I’d love to hear people’s experiences with this kind of set up. My hubby wants to use this type of open system but with the coyote packs running through the property I have some serious reservations. Any input??

Love the story! 🤗

Thx

I would love to be able to do this in the future. It's hard to find a larger amount amount of land where I live for a reasonable price.

Great story

How many acres do you actually have ? Id say it's more than just a few , I have a pretty small farmett I have cows and pigs and goats and chickens turkeys and ducks I used to have a horse too. I enjoy your videos gives me ideas on how I can do some things better

Hi Pete! Thank you for sharing! I watch all of your videos now and am slowly going through all of the ones I missed before finding your channel. We are in south west Ohio and have a small and I do mean small! Lol homestead. We are trying to buy a bigger property and want to get into cattle. That’s how I found you when trying to learn about Dexters. I was sold on them until recently learning about lowline angus? I like that they are polled and have a higher yield than Dexter but are still smaller? What are your thoughts on the lowline compared to the Dexter? Thanks again for the entertaining and educational videos!!!

Hi Mr. Pete! Just curious, what size electric fence wire do you use on your pig fences?

Thank you for the wonderful information. How big is the pasture? Do they dig it up at all?

I imagine those pigs just completely tear that pasture up after 5 months. Do you do anything particular to help the pasture recover afterwards (or does the rest just do it)? Enjoyed the video as always!

Why don't you use your Osborne feeder during the summer?

Cheers

I'm having an issue with the piglets drinking from the nipple drinker. Any tips as to getting them drinking? Thanks and keep up the great videos.

I hope I can one day have a pig

🐷 👍

i'm new to raising my pigs on a pasture. 5 pigs on 1 acre that doubles as a live oak orchard. Basically all the acorns and sour corn they can eat, yet they gain weight so slow, is this normal?

what age do they go on pasture

Hey Pete! Love your content! I have question: Do you put the group of pigs in the same pasture each season, or designate a new area?

Brilliant fixing tractors, but buttons? Not so good😂

have you ever thought to breed some lambs for meat??

It's terrible to think some farmers would raise livestock in a pitch dark barn...

Do you accept non covi vaxxed day labourers? hahahha
