How do you keep your blue barrels fixed in place

What do you do if there is a gate in the middle of your set up?

I'm currently running 16x16 pens for my meishan mix hogs, they stand over 3ft at the shoulders and a little over 6ft in length .. 800+ pounds .. was considering shrinking the pens to 16x8 to expand my numbers. Which do you think would be best,... 16x8 with one or two hogs per pen.. or run larger and do community pens ?

❤

GOOD JOB .

Thank you for sharing. Thanks for stressing how deep post should be. I would like to raise 1-2 hogs for my own family; not worried about selling. For that would a 8x8 pen work? What should I aim for? I live in high desert of So Calif west of Victorville. Any suggestions what breed to start with?

I have a baby pool in my backyard for my dog to lay in drink ect I go outside n my chicken is all wet but only on her back not bottom half Acting weird I checked her She’s ok but not acting normal Maybe she fell in and got out since it’s shallow ish I’m keeping an eye on her but man I’m scared she can end up not making it I don’t even fill the pool up all the way but I’m sure they can drown in just inches of water if they fall in

I watch your video and did this today but without the mineral oil. A cow I’ve had for about a week now had bad bloating from eating too much alfalfa. After doing this he was able to drink and eat again. It only took like 5 mins and he was very cooperative like he knew I was trying to help him. All by myself. Thank you sir!

I'm in Utah as well, we are about 5500 ft where I am at 😊. I love your views. I do have pretty good views of the mountains, but I have always loved the rural farm life views. ❤️

Great video! I'm setting up electric fence to keep bears from my chickens. My favourite part of the video was your awesome helper. Great job!

Are you able to put in some leaky weirs (stones, logs, beaver dam analogs etc) to slow that water down and force it into the ground? It would also help with the erosion and bank incisions.

Great to hear from you again Robert.

Do hogs need a mud hole?

@highdeseretranch Do you give tours. We live in utah as well

@highdeseretranch Using a netal barrel with water nipples is a life saver. No spillinf water and digging. How do you keep the feeder barels in place?

@highdeseretranch You look like you're in Utah, are you?

Baking soda works with goats. I was gking to ask but you covered that. Thanks!

You cleaning pig shit all the time

The hose had to be in the correct position and takes to long bloat gas needs release ad soon ad possible or it can be fatal thats why the picture I'd the preferred method

Thank you for sharing the information

Is deseret spelled like that on purpose?

By far the best an well explained video I have watched tonight on the installation of electrical fence and grounding. Thank you

Yes, it's tough but you do learn from your mistakes. Been there, done that.

Congratulations Robert on the new calf!

Very realistic video.

would castor oil work?

Chug, chug, chug, chug, chug!

Awesome video. Would love a copy of the spreadsheet

Thank you very much for all the valuable information. You have a great set up

How often do you put bedding down? I noticed some older straw in some pens. Have you ever considered Korean natural farming (knf) system?

It's recommended that the head remain up because head down changes the heart girth measurement.

Poor baby, so glad he's okay. Jees, i don't even want to imagine what it feels like to become a walking balloon😵‍💫😵‍💫😣😣 must be so painful

Interesting you choose a light skinned breed that can sunburn more easily than a darker skinned breed like a Duroc, Red Wattle, Poland China, or Spot.

Thanks for the update on ranch life

Bruh where is the shooting range and gun content?!

Hi Robert! We've had a relatively mild winter here and no snow so far. We have had snow in March though it's more common for us in January and February. Sorry about the piglets but as you said, it happens.

That calf stayed surprisingly calm when you tubed it. I’ve had to tube a number of calves and they have never stayed that still 🤣

What is priss?

Thank you, and might I say friend. I do appreciate the information.

So, do you have one wire from the positive side of the box to each strand of fence wire you want to energize?

So animals also need oil change

Outstanding. Thanks for sharing

Those kiddos are truly the best! Such great life skills they are learning! You have earned this parent payday for sure.

There's no substitute to raising kids on the farm.

How much would you say that you spent on materials?

Makes them easier to count as well.

A friend said to me the other day "farm for the love, town job for the money". Its sad. While I think more and more people yearn to be on the land it's becoming increasingly difficult. As for dairies, in my region there were 350 dairies - every farm has an old run down red brick dairy building now defunct. As for the 'town job', I'm about to quit mine as I'm not going to let the fear of doing otherwise hold me in a job I hate.

You Sir sound a lot like myself, Its important to understand the why? then its easier to understand the how? The markets have all sunk because of alot of reasons it is quite the conspiracy Labor is cheap in other countries so it all boils down to the money? The elites have been robbing us and our taxes for many years and we have let them not only are they rich from that but they push the pollution over there to satisfy a certain group of people here in the USA. We can STOP this We Have to get the right President in office and we CANNOT let them steal it again!! If any of that makes any sense LOL I am here to support your show Sir

Wow! So, the FDA says this is safe to put in our meat??? Why am I surprised, after everything else they approve. Food safety of ractopamine-fed beef and swine Kara Lynch, Dale Rozeboom and David Thompson, Michigan State University Extension - April 19, 2022 Ractopamine is a feed additive used in pigs and cattle. We describe here why the product is used and consider its safety so you can be better informed about the food you are eating. Pork on a plank. Ractopamine is a feed additive for pigs and beef cattle that has gotten a lot of attention over the last several years. It is used by livestock producers to enhance or increase muscle mass and improve feed efficiency in animals. Because it adds lean muscle to animals prepared for market, it is also popular when feeding show animals to increase their chance of a top placement. It has many different trade names, including Paylean®, Lean Maximizer®, Explode®, XXL®, Overdrive®, Power-Max®, Actogain®, and Optaflexx®. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has reviewed many studies designed to establish the safety of ractopamine. They have determined that meat from animals fed ractopamine is safe for human consumption when fed to pigs and cattle according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Because ractopamine is metabolized and cleared rapidly from muscle (meat), the product can be fed right up to time of harvest. The FDA conducted studies to ensure pork fed ractopamine was safe for human consumption and have established an acceptable daily intake (ADI). Though meat from animals with ractopamine is safe for human consumption, some global markets, including China and the European Union (EU), require that all beef and pork sold there be free of the drug, or from animals never fed the product. How do they justify this position? First, though ractopamine is cleared rapidly from muscle, it accumulates in greater amounts and persists longer in certain tissues, including liver, lungs, kidney, eyes and hair. These tissues are not typically eaten by U.S. consumers, but may be in some other markets, including China. Second, the zero-tolerance policy for ractopamine in China and EU has been influenced by consumer safety events that occurred several years ago in China and Portugal, which involved serious illnesses caused in people who consumed meat from animals fed a different molecule called clenbuterol. In many countries, including the U.S., clenbuterol is not approved for feeding to meat animals. Why have some U.S. meat packers stopped accepting ractopamine-supplemented pigs for processing? Economics have played a key role. Because China and the EU have become increasingly important export markets for U.S pork, many large meat packers in the U.S. stopped processing ractopamine fed pigs beginning in late 2019 and early 2020 to help preserve their access to those markets. This led some fairs in Michigan and other states to ban ractopamine use in pigs shown at fairs, since it was unclear if there would be a market for those pigs after fair season ended. Michigan State Univeristy Extension has produced a FAQ resource that can answer more questions relating to the drug itself, how it is used in show pigs and implications of packer restrictions for its use in show pigs. In conclusion, the U.S. FDA has established and actively enforces safe limits for use of ractopamine in pigs and cattle. When used according to label directions, meat products from animals fed this additive are safe for human consumption. If you are interested in finding out if the meat you are considering purchasing has been fed ractopamine, you can look at USDA’s Official Listing of Approved Never Fed Beta Agonists Programs (updated March 4, 2022). Also, check with your retailer to determine where the meat they sell was sourced. Another option may be to buy a market animal from a farmer who can verify what they included in the feed provided to the animal. This article was published by Michigan State University Extension.
