- Farrowing Pigs On Pasture - BEST Results So Far
We have had additional pigs to farrow on pasture. This time we had the best results so far.
One of our red pigs has farrowed and had good results. Then one of our spotted pigs gave birth and we had the BEST results so far.

Ignore the ugly comments. Y'all are doing a great job 👏
Thank you. Appreciate y’all watching
Awesome job!! I raised pigs off and on for 15 years, i had two sows farrow while they had escaped. Both those sows along with all there new piglets actually came back to the barn, i simply just shut the gate and like magic, back to business. From that day forward, my method of pig farming were exactly the way you folks are doing it. Back then, even successful pig farmers said i was crazy!! I'd never do it any differently than the way you folks are doing it!!!! Keep up the good work!!!!
That's a cool story. She went off, had those piggies and then brought them home. They know better than us how to have piglets. Appreciate the kind words and thanks for watching.
Don't worry about negative comments. Those sows are doing it the way nature intended ! Good luck to you, keep it going!!
Thanks 👍
They're co-parenting! They seem as excited to have the piglets as ya'll are.
Yep! Glad to see it going on.
Thanks for standing your ground! Like I said I am using your model on my gilts we have a large fenced wooded area for them too. I am hoping to have my farrowing process be hands off when we get to that point. Someone replied to me abt saying she should go this guy said “why should she go” I reminded him of her birth AND her post birth behavior being totally inappropriate. I’m a new homesteader but veteran farmers/producers tell me often every animal must contribute to “make it make sense “ I adopted that mantra. PS. My 15 turkey chicks came yesterday 1 down already😷, but I’m encouraged. Thx for being real like I always say!
We have Kune Kune’s they graze, and pretty much farrow on their own- it’s a happy day to see the new piglets!
Hey guys don’t worry about negative people comments the both of you are doing a good job,wild pigs give birth by themselves all the time animals being doing just fine without our help,sometimes we’re the biggest problem,y’all keep up the good work.
Thanks for the kind words. Appreciate y’all watching
I can never get enough of watching piglets tussle and play. I love it when The Mamas play auntie helping each other out. I hate seeing pigs in confinement, natural out in pasture makes for happy healthy pigs.
I’m so glad you addressed the negative comments. I often wonder why in the world someone would be so snotty or even take the time to click the thumbs down. Just turn it off! And y’all aren’t the only ones that run to the sound of squealing piglets. I’ve almost broke my fooled neck running to see what’s happening!! If I got all that stuff on video I might get some subscribers!🤣
Another great clip chuck thank you,
dont worry about the haters they will always hate regardless. Your clips are very educational and you explain things anybody can understand , keep up the great work mate
Thanks Grant. Appreciate the kind words.
Look at all those piggies. Mom's are doing a great job. Many people who don't understand nature's process can be negative. Let it go brother, keep up the good work.
Man I love the red pigs never tired of the pig videos
Thanks. Us too!
We have had similar results but remember the strong survive and you build upon those not the one's you lost. I have lost more piglets than I have brought to the table, its just the way it is. You battle genetics, weather, gnashing of teeth and satan. So every victory is cherished. Cherish the victories and learn from the challenges.
🥰😎 happy happy happy. I agree with your natural plans
Thank you.
Good morning guys . Been lookiñg forward to these piggy's being born. Have a great day
Us too! Thanks so much for watching
Glad things are smoothing out. I know about listening for the squeals. I am listening for chicks peeps. I am raising 2 batches of 60 meat birds spaced three weeks apart. I am checking and watering and feeding. But I do enjoy them too, they are amazing. When you care, you spend a lot of time with your animals.
You are doing great! I could never get tired of piglets!
Me neither!! Thanks for watching
Keep up the great work. Love watching your videos. I’m learning so much. Thanks for the videos.
Thanks. Appreciate y’all watching
I think you are doing an excellent job congratulations on all the baby piglets
Thanks
Well done, great work!
Am enjoying every content u post🤳
Don't worry about negative comment focus on yr blessings 🐷🐽🐖
Love your channel
Thanks so much. Appreciate y’all watching
Lovely pigs
Sorry you got trolled brother. Still trying to get my gf on board with pasture pigs on our 4900 sq meter Mindanao farm. I want to split the place into one pig shed, attached to six paddocks via hot fence, I wish to rotate the pigs once per week on pasture among the fruit trees and coconuts. I keep telling her that I believe there will be more value in a red meat juicy pig than a pink meat stall raised pig. We have the land. We have the structure to keep off the rain. We will buy the native pig as it is hearty in the Philippines. Also, running the pigs in between the orchards fertilizes our trees.
Good luck on your piglets. Thanks.
Thank you for posting, you guys are awesome!
Hope says she wants some of the black and white ones
They are super cute!
We hope to get feeder pigs soon, and are not planning to breed pigs, but we love watching your videos.
I think you're doing a wonderful job God put them in nature nature swear they need to be it takes care of itself enough said
Ok first if all who could ever get tired of watching baby piglets? 😁❤🐖 and second building all kinda stuff for those mama's where you live is not necessary. Tes when it rains it's not great. But I've seen where people build all kinda housing/ birthing hunts and the mama's won't stay in them a lot of the time. Yall are doing a great job!
Yeah. We’ve had farrowing huts out for them and they choose to give birth in the hay. They know what they need. Thanks for watching
The good ones show them selves to be ahead of the poor if people would only let them! Reproductive ability should be number one on the traits that you determine who stays and who goes. No matter how good you think they are if they can’t reproduce at your farm under your management what good are they?
What’s your total piglets live on the ground now ? I laughed when you corrected your better half on counting lol. Too funny. Give poor midwife Sandra a break , making her stay up in the middle of the night probably raining on her . 🤪😝 did shadow the sheep 🐑 hang out with her also ? Well good job u 2 and don’t worry what people say they don’t know. Todd
I think it’s 36 total. My accountant is suspect around here. 🤓🤓🤓. Thanks for watching!
@@SheratonParkFarms how many do u need each year to sell ? Basically what’s the number u are shooting for?
Congrats on the new additions ! Love the videos and what your trying to accomplish . Sure wish piglets could be shipped like chicks ( haha) - It's been very challenging to find any piglets here in Rochester NY this year to say the least. Haven't had any luck so far.
Yeah. Piglets are hard to find. Good quality ones anyway. Thanks for watching
Nature’s way, all the way, need to be encouraging natural husbandry to maintain good genetic stock in all domesticated farm animals.
Agree. Sometimes things done work out the way we want but the way nature wants.
Awesome 👍👍👍Thanks for sharing. How many squealers 🤣 so far?
I think we are at 36. It’s really kinda tough to keep up with. I need a good accountant. 🤓
I bet the people leaving nasty comments don’t even own livestock and don’t know anything about it other than what they see on TH-cam. Everyone has their own way of doing things and what works for 1 may not work for another, so people need to remember if you have nothing nice to say don’t say anything at all.
It’s so neat how pigs will nurse piglets that aren’t theirs, wish goats were like that because my goats will head but babies that aren’t theirs and it’s so hard to see that. I was thinking and could be totally wrong but the 1 that lost a bunch I’m wondering if her labor stalled or a baby was stuck so she got up and was walking around to help the process? Just a thought on it.
We had a gilt lose her piglets. She is letting other piglets nurse on her. Also, have non pregnant gilts looking like they are going into heat. I wish they were on pasture. They are in a pen with a very good natured boar. We have American Guinea Hogs.
Thank you so much for sharing the UPS and Downs I have a quick question how do you keep track of the sounds and which babies are which for selling purposes or do you only a item with one bore it's 1 bore so it doesn't really matter
Great video keep up the hard work, don’t pay any mind to the keyboard warriors...
We are planning to raise pigs in a tropical environment. And moving them often. Any advice.
Could of something spooked the one that lost most of her piglets? I didn't know that momma pigs let others babies nurse.
Certainly could have. Yes. Seems to be pretty common.
wow looking great.... btw, how many are still about to farrow??
Have 3 to go. Thanks for watching
I have a question, do you find piglets dead because they got rolled on? My sow has killed two this last litter. How do I prevent this?
Yes. That happens occasionally. In an open setting its difficult. We Have some farrowing huts that have a short section in the back the piglets can get up under to stay away from mom.
❤
What is Ruby's sister's name? The other Red mama.
We haven't named her. She is doing a good job.
Tis a little damp?!!
😎👍
Thanks
🐷👍🐖👍🐽👍🐗👍
Thanks
🥰😍😘
natures way:)
Exactly
Every rancher/farmer has to make their OWN decisions about what is best for their own environment and way of raising their animals. People who are not actively involved in YOUR own ranch shouldnt be trying to make decisions for you. We get comments from people that know nothing at all about raising livestock in 9 full months of deep snow and winter conditions. It truly blows my mind. You are both caring for your animals and trying to work the genetics into your herd for what YOU are raising and for your environment. I am 100% behind you!!!
Thanks so much. Really appreciate y’all watching
Bahahahahha "7 & 11 is not 16". Ahhhhhh poor Sandra & math 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm very happy that y'all are going a more natutal route. That's the way it should be. & sometimes nature isn't nice, but it's the way life is supposed to be. Keep it up!!
Thanks. Appreciate y’all watching
Don’t give negative comments a second look and don’t even give them the satisfaction of mentioning them in a video. just block him!! you are doing a great job!!! that’s exactly the way God intended it to happen the animals by instant can all take care of themselves. exactly how I raise my chickens I don’t have an incubator I don’t have a brooder. Mamma does it
New subscriber. Just started with pasture pigs and find your videos are very helpful. Thank you. Just had two mommas farrow. 15 babies total. Looking forward to more videos, you do a great job.
Awesome! Glad you like our content. Appreciate y’all watching
Do not intervene! They got it!
Great content, stick with your project 'outdoor farrowing' it's the natural way. Reminds me of here in Fermanagh, Ireland with all that rain.
Thanks, will do! We've had a ton of rain here this winter and early spring. Been crazy.
Don’t worry about the ugly comments. I agree that this is the natural way. I live in SE Oklahoma and we have been over ran with wild hoggs. If this way that you are doing this is not a healthy way of doing it than our wild hogs would not thrive
You’re right. Thanks for watching
I dont know why some people have to be nasty. I say it's your farm your livestock do it your way. It's one of the most natural things is to let animals do there own thing having their babs Its nature way they've done it longer then humans
Couldn't agree more. Thanks!
You guys are doing a great job! I am curious if the sow's spontaneous nursing activity will change your processing decision on the sow whose piglets did not survive?
Interesting you should ask. We are having second thoughts about giving her another try. She seems to do really well with the piglets so she may be fine next time around.
Let them do it!
Y'all take a break,. Both of you look worn out. Ignore the haters. Learn and go on.
Thanks. Appreciate y’all watching and the kind words.
How do the piglets and the mamas know who belongs to whom?
I think it is by smell. But they all share piglets at feeding time. No one seems to mind if they have someone else's piglet nursing on them.
You guys are awesome. Thank you for the knowledge!!!
Thanks for watching!
Love the videos Chuck, Very inspiring!
I appreciate that!
I can't handle the squeals eaither. I am so happy for you all!! You are doing it the way they are created. Our Berkshires still has all 11 and i have so many people that said I could not keep them all 2 weeks later. Good sows can do it just fine.
Yes they can! Good luck on your berks. Thanks for watching
That's a lot of piglets! Congratulations Sir! Mama Pig and the litter should have a hut for protection against the rain. Oh maybe there is, I just didn't see on the video.
Thanks 👍
He's tight for money
Pigs need sheds
Love y’all’s videos don’t matter what anyone thinks your animals your property your choice keep up the good wrk
Thanks. Appreciate y’all watching
Those are happy healthy sows and piglets. Livestock are so much healthier when they live outside. Well done
Agree. Thanks
Excellent
Thanks. Appreciate y’all watching
This is the way it should be done! This is farming! It pains me to think about pigs that live on cement floors and caged so they can't move.
Are you having to remove the piglets when you put the boar in the pen with the sows?
Are you not worried about who's piglets are with who and which ones got inseminated with which sperm because they are feeders and not being keep for breeders
🐊🇺🇸🦅👍❤
Thanks
The one that had the bad farrowing experience has redeeming properties nursing piglets not her own
"Seven and eleven is not sixteen" 🤣🤣🤣
Being out in pasture do you run into predator problems?
Just keep doing what you are doing and don’t worry about the bad comments no matter what you can’t make everyone happy
Agree! Thanks for watching
This takes me back. We didn't have as many sows as you do, but we successfully raised pigs on pasture. Just curious, what is the primary breed of your sows?
Berkshire/Duroc mostly.
“We’re gonna let a boar have an opportunity with her.” Not gonna lie. That made me chuckle a bit. 😆
😂. Yep. Let nature take its course.
I had asked before maybe missed the answer but wandering the age of your gilts when first bred
Around 7 months. Appreciate y’all watching
Y’all are doing a great job & I have learned a lot...gonna come visit someday 😁
Come on! Thanks for watching
I think it's the way it should be done. Keep doing what you are doing.
Thanks. Appreciate the kind words
Looks like a community teat program going there, better for all of them.
🤣🤣. The milk bar
Morning Chuck and Saundra, thanks for sharing
Morning bud!!
Absolutely not tired of farrowing videos.
Hey. Clip idea, maybe showing how much to put in a bottle and how often they need to drink. Great job on giving them space to be animals and follow their instincts. Cheers
You are doing a fine job keep up the good work those are some of the best looking pig's I have seen in a while
I appreciate what you do and really enjoy your videos.
Nice, good looking pigs. Y’all be proud. Hard to build what you have and do it in front of the world. I see a lot of things I don’t agree with in my daily life. I pride myself in not standing in judgement of others on anything. How they raise their kids, pets, jobs etc. if I really don’t like it I just stay away. Everyone has to live and learn how they do. Love the ants!
😂we have plenty of ants for sure. Thanks for the kind words. Appreciate y’all watching
