How we load our pigs onto our trailer - nearly STRESS FREE!
มุมมอง 2432 ปีที่แล้ว
In this video we show how we load our pigs onto our trailer as stress free as possible (for the pigs) to haul them to the processor. These were our pigs from the 2021 season. They are Mangalitsa crossed with Red Wattle and were just shy of 300 lbs each at around 9 months old. The trailer is a home made trailer measuring 10 feet long x 5 feet wide and perfect for hauling our pigs. Custom music c...
#HenbitHomestead #soap #homesteadlife WHY I started making truly natural soap

In this video I talk about why I started making soap (and other body care products), where we source some of our ingredients, and what I consider to be natural.

Turkey Weigh Day!

Today we weigh our two broad breasted white turkeys to find out how they are progressing. A little back story on how we ended up with the turkeys to begin with. Link to the “Hatchery Surprise” Box from Cackle Hatchery in Lebanon, MO: www.cacklehatchery.com/hatchery-surprise.html
Chicken Coop Built Out Of An Old Shed
มุมมอง 21K6 ปีที่แล้ว
Check out our chicken coop setup. We converted an old shed into a house for our hens and it turned out great!
I want to buy and import Duroc piglets to Ghana. Please can you help?
are these different from Duroc ? Please i need explanation?
Great work
Great video! Subbed. We just started with 2 red wattle/Berkshire. Sweetest pigs.
Fellow Red Wattle grower! Incredible breed all around. We are on year 3 and couldn’t be happier with the docile nature of this breed , the mommas are great, and the amazing product they give!
I’m glad to hear of more and more people raising Red Wattle! They really are a great breed.
Just ran across your platform I personally didn't know that particular Breed of pig. You say you like the thamperment of the breed may I ask what weight to butcher and do you skinned of take the hair off using water
They were a new breed to us as well. I heard they originated in East Texas which piqued my interest since that’s where I live. Once we started raising them I learned they are easy to work with, very docile and easy for them to become my pets if I’m not careful, lol. The meat has wonderful marbling at 300 lbs and only gets better the longer you let them grow. I love the Red Wattle breed!
@@HenbitHomestead Appreciate your quick response and I will be following your progress
@@jamesmoore1743 thanks so much, we certainly appreciate that.
They are too precious 💕💞
I wouldn't have the heart to kill one
It is definitely not an easy task at all and took us a lot of time to work up to finally being able to do it. I understand it’s not for everybody though. We figured if we are going to eat pork, the only way we know for sure they had a good life is to raise them ourselves.
@@HenbitHomestead I agree. I have a hard time eating any meat now unless I’ve raised it ❤
Beautiful pigs
Thank you! They are wonderful pigs.
Great job with film Keegan!!
He said, “Awesome, thank you!” Thanks for watching!
Great coop and set up!
Thank you so much!
Great job on the turkeys
What I have learned is having it close to the house is it causes a rat problem nice building
Thank you. We have been here almost five years and we rarely see rats or snakes. I give our two LGDs and four barn cats credit for that.
do you feed your barn cats or make them hunt do you handle them thanks@@HenbitHomestead
@@joestamper5649 We free feed them. We have a small door cut out of our shed door so they can come and go to eat their food. It is relatively the size of a small doggie door so the dogs can’t get to it.
Thanks for posting this. I will be building a new coop as our flock gets larger, and got some good ideas from this. Sadly we don't have an old outbuilding to convert!
Thanks for watching, I’m glad you found it helpful! Good luck on your new build!!
Very good video,thank you for taking the time to share with us+
Thank you so much! We appreciate you watching
Like a bolt action sniper rifle 😂 teaching him right. Good job dad & fellow chicken lover
Lol! I appreciate the comment and thank you for watching!!
Great video. He’s a natural. I wish you guys could be more active on U tube.
I am trying! I recorded a video earlier this week and have to record it again tomorrow. If all goes well maybe I can get it uploaded tomorrow evening. Thank you for your kind words!
@@HenbitHomestead Your commentary was effortless and brilliant. I was wondering what happened, did you just lose interest? I think your channel would grow quickly if you posted consistently. Everybody loves animals, you already have content. I found your video because I was watching chicken coup videos. I hope that you both get motivated and start making videos.
@@cashk100 no, I didn’t lose interest. I just get busy in the day to day activities.
@@HenbitHomestead Got it 👍🏾
Great video! Looking forward for more content!
Thank you for watching!
😍🥰 Absolutely precious video of well spoken, adorable kids and adorable chickens.
Thank you!
Love your videos so far. How big is your property? I hope you make more videos.
Thank you! We live in one acre. We will try to post some new videos soon. Thanks for watching!
I LOVED your video! Liked the large waterer too! And your son was a delight to listen too! With that much feed, do you find the feed gets wet from humidity?
I haven’t had any problems over the past several years using it this way. We typically only put one 50 pound bag of feed in there and it lasts about a week. It’s capable of holding 100 pounds and haven’t noticed any issues the few times I’ve filled it all the way up either. The feeder and the 55 gallon waterer have really worked well for us! So glad you enjoyed the video, and thank you for watching!
Like the angled cover of the nesting box. Great and simple idea, and the proof that it works is right there.
Kid is annoying
Oh really? Well I’m sorry it wasn’t up to par for you. This was just a fun video that my son and I worked on together. If you find it annoying than just move on to the next video. Never understood why people like you have to make sure to go out of your way to leave an ugly comment, especially about a kid. But hey, thanks for watching! Lol
Enjoyable! Thanks!
Very goooood !!!
I love this kid 🤣 definitely a hardworker since he already knows the ends and outs of chicken care! Hope my kids will be this knowledgeable one day! ✌ thanks!
Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!
hi what’s the size of your coop
hello great what’s the size of your coop
The coop is 12 feet x 8 feet
Hello new friend. Hope you can join me as well. I love the shed conversion.
hi
Very nice! Great tip on poultry box!!
Kinda like a bolt action sniper rifle... terms I wouldn't know as a child or want to know.. but then again, he is wearing a shirt with Texas planted all over...
Ok....Thanks for watching the video
I loved it !!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the great idea I have an old shed on the property I bought recently and now I'm inspired to utilize it for my chickens! My chicks are just 1 Week old so I better get started! Just subbed your channel would love if you'd check out mine as well 😁
Hey guys. Loved the video. Subscribed.
So how many nest boxes are been used??
jimmy galloway typically they only use 4 of the nest boxes but right now since most of the hens are molting they are only using 2 of the 6.
Lookin' good :)
