That first slide of feed took off slivers of the OSB. I think you should use regular plywood in that area for the next one. I love that water concept. You better keep an eye on it because those destructive pigs might break that PVC pipe and water will run continuously. Good job, guys!
I’m not sure you have to change materials, just change which side of the fence that it’s mounted. Have just the nipples accessible to the pigs and they won’t be able to (as easily) break the PVC or tear up the hose.
OMG - I never knew pigs could be so destructive! I hope that feeder works out for you. Sure was a great idea. The Emu was pretty clever taking your hat - perhaps he/she wants one for themselves. Great video - thank you and Be Blessed!
You came up with some great ideas, the waterer is a good one for a quick water supply. The feeder idea looks great too, I like both of them. Good job Mike, I like these types of ideas and the video. Thanks for sharing. Have a nice evening!
Hi Mike,Jeff and all others😊thanks for sharing your channels hope everyone have a bless weekend hugs and prayers. Great contents and keep it up ❤❤see you next video❤❤❤! Incredible Work 😊😊
Great Job guys! That feeder will work great, as long as stays dry. You could just put that metal pallet under it to keep it out of the mud when it rains. Just a thought. God Bless!
you need a valve on the end to open and flush out the water. in the summer the water will get hot enough that they will not drink it and you will need to flush it out to cool it back down
I found the lickset bar worked well for the pigs, goats, and sheep. Saved a lot of time cleaning troughs that the ducks and geese would get dirty before I could get choreing done. Fun watching both you guys being creative!
Great innovation for the water system and pig feeder. I would have painted the bottom of the OSB to help prevent moisture from soaking up into the OSB. You and Jeff work so well together it's amazing. Always enjoy your videos and the ways you think of things to help save money for the ranch. Pretty soon, you'll have a herd of pigs like you do for the cows. Enjoy and be safe.
I just enjoy ALL of Your Videos….First You and Your Wife are so BEAUTIFUL inside and Out to watch and I learn so much ….. You Guy’s are living your BEST Lives…. Watching from Virginia 🌹
After reflecting a bit on your pig feeder, I recall visiting the pigs at my grand-father's farm. There was always the "slop" pail kept at the house. Then I recall that the pigs chewed on the trough sides. It was just accepted that was the way it was. Pigs are just "pigs". . . . However, your TH-cam posting was interesting. You have a way in your dialogue that is unique. Keep up the great work. The way that pigs squeal when threatened is amusing, . . . except for person close to them.
Great job on the waterers, they are working well. I'm afraid the OSB though, will disintegrate pretty quickly setting on the ground like that! But the design of the feeder is really good!
Hammering device...whatever works. 😊 Got a new fridge this week. Offered the delivery guys a big screwdriver and a hammer to remove porch and kitchen doors.They said no thanks, we have special tools. 😀
Amazing feeder Matt and Jeff I'm definitely going to have to steal that idea and build on for my three pigs If yall need to Matt you can screw horse stall matts to the OSB boards underneath the feeder to help keep the wood dry so the matts would be on the bare ground and not the wood.
Just received my brisket, ground beef, steak and rump roast the brisket is going on the smoker in the morning can’t wait to taste it! Thank you Mike and Our Wyoming Life for the fresh meat looking forward to cooking it all I know it’ll be great!
Well it came out great! Thanks for Showing Ethel at the end, I bet that's going to be one big baby. You and your family have a nice Memorial Day weekend 🌞🌻🐝
You boys have come a long ways with construction skills. Shop is looking good, ranch hand lounge is coming together real nice, guess I’ve been following a couple years now, good job. REALITY TV AT ITS BEST!!!
I think I would of set that thing on something up off the ground. That OSB and plywood is gonna rot real fast when it gets wet. And of course they will climb inside it and take a dump etc etc:-)
Good concepts for pig feeder and waterer. I hope it works. You might want to try that waterproof spray on the OSB and see if it will keep it from getting saturated in the rain. Just a thought.
Just a suggestion Mike I notice on the feed bin etc ..from before the problem with the feed sticking use the osb for structure then line with thin sheet metal to make it slicker? I know your trying to make it on a tight budget but i think the sheet metal lining the inside would make life easier...Love the videos.....
I love the design as you go concept. Concepts to be improved with observed use. Excellent!! And I loved hearing the Peacock giving his opinion. Thanks for sharing. I've seen similar water systems set up for hogs at our local agricultural fair. With very large stainless licks-it spouts for the show hogs. Also attaches with pipe strapping. Half day reservoirs of water made from 12" schedule 80 PVC. Kids showing hogs for 4-H and FFA filled the reservoirs early morning, topped off, mid day and dinner time and again at night. If there was water available, there was less destruction. All around great job.
Mike put the hose thru a larger PVC pipe yo protect it from every critter& you may have to put a stronger board as backing to the waterers cuz they just mite b abl cti pull it off by breaking that board , won't b hard for them to do ...otherwise looks good !!!
Nice job on the pig water system and feeder. A couple of thing you might consider are adding some of your oil pipes under the feeder to keep it off of the ground, throwing some duct tape or other tape over the seem of the feed splitter V where the OSB meets, and making the frame fit on the inside of the IBC so the water doesn't run into the feed.
You might consider PVC lumber materials. Does not rot out even sitting in the mud. Can even hold water if desired. Home Depot here shows 3/4"x4'x8' sheet @ $150 and a 3/4"x3 1/2"x 8' piece at $20. It can be cut and assembled like wood but for the pigs probably use some glue as well. Not cheap but how long will OSB last with pigs and in the weather, maybe a season. For what you currently have maybe use the metal bottom from the tote under the feeder so it can be off the ground a few inches.
Thanks for sharing, nice video with some great ideas. Was wondering if light weight tin lids might be easier for the pigs to open. Some how I’m sure you know by now if that is a solution looking for a problem that doesn’t exist. 😂wishing you and your family the best.
Raised pigs, had a full size steel barrel cut in half with pipes welded on the bottom 1 for water other feed. Filled up with water all 6 pigs used each other to get inside to get as much water to make mud 50 degrees weather, then all off them trying to tip over, that night where water was by 2 by 12 bottom board corral in old carport very hard dirt dug out. Genius working together attitutude do not under estimate them, got it tipped over, started screaming wanting water refilled it, completely conned us
We have 4 pigs on your veggie plot site at the moment. They held in with an electric fence two strands. They do like scratching. At the moment their favourite is rhubarb roots. They sit on them and scratch. I love it when they do zoomies just before it starts to get dark, and then suddenly collapse in a heap. Much bigger type of pig, mostly Gloucestershire old spot and a bit of Tamworth in the mix so they are a spotty pale brown. Definitely GOS type droopy ears. Maybe they are Oxford Sandy and Blacks which means they will not get so big. I have been away for 3 weeks and I am sure they have doubled in size. They are supposed to be clearing plots, but we have not had much rain so they are not doing much digging. But they do not seem to be much bother. They do love eating weeds, though unfortunately they do not seem to like stinging nettles very much. They do not seem to get out, if they did it would be a real pain, they are surrounded by vegetable growing plots. I had a few escaped piglets one year they got under the wire but luckily they were still too small to dig up very much. Looks like you need more water nipples. They have two galvanised feed troughs one for water and one for feed. They are filled twice a day and twice a day they are upside down.
The feeder suggestion consider useing composite deck deck material the plastic based deck boards should be resistance to rotting especially for the parts that actually make contact with the ground and possibly get wet from ? For the interior feed distribution piece of angel flashing should seal the joint It's the base that going to get the most abuse weather and animals suggest possible to cast a concrete base wouldn't be very mobile but won't rot and doubt if they be pushing it around just be sure to use reinforcement ribar or wire piece of cattel panel for strength
Interesting concept on the pig feeder. I think you might consider building the next one with a pallet fork cutouts or an easier way to fork it around. If your skiddy will pick it up loaded you can pull the whole tote out and fill it right from the grinder/mixer then fork it back into place and skip the tote bags with the tractor. And share link for the replaceable top on the IBC totes? I have 10inch factory tops and I use IBC totes for bulk feed storage, i have a small pellet grill auger on my drill to get the feed out.
Thanks Mike and Jeff. looking good. I was wondering something you might cover on another episode. I went hiking and got a bite from an infected tick. the bullseye didn't show up until late last night and I'm on antibiotics. My question is do you ever run iinto that kind of problem with any of your animals and possibly from the raccoons or coyotes. just curious... thanks
Could you tie the pvc pipe to a 250 gallon tank outside the pen? I have to haul water to them anyway in a tote anyway, be easy yo offload tote to tote outside the pen.
But I just wanted to take measure so I don't know how to read them that well. I'm always off of my measurements yeah? Thanks. For your comment. I know it's still costly but I'm only hoping that tub will work. Now alright I'll be watching you. Mike take care have a good day today.
Just a suggestion why you set the pig on center blocks to keep itb off the ground cause sooner or later after that wood gets wet it will start rot at some point that was a great idea
Don't you think the osb little heavy for the small pigs if you use sheets of plastic for the out side an the shoot would last longer then osb or plywood
I want to use that rack for the bottom and cut a hole and that so at least have a frame port so I'm get damaged good idea and playwood you'll need to go higher.
Bambi needs a bib, when she walked up and stuck her nose in the gator she drouled all down the inside of the door. Better yours than mine. One suggestion on the pig feeder would be use some 4x4's across the bottom so it isn't sitting directly on the ground and you could easily pick it up with the skidsteer and forklift on it. It would make it easier to move it and to just bring it out to refill.
As a former pig farmer from upper Midwest, you’ll find concrete and stainless steel is your only friend when it comes to pigs
That’s a fact…..They will tear it up!!
That's what I was thinking. It's incredible how strong pigs' teeth and jaws are.
@@ladyfarmer55 if they can chew human bones their teeth are tough!
Yeah, stainless steel was a game changer.
Yep they'll tear up the osb sheeting like candy
That first slide of feed took off slivers of the OSB. I think you should use regular plywood in that area for the next one. I love that water concept. You better keep an eye on it because those destructive pigs might break that PVC pipe and water will run continuously. Good job, guys!
As with any Proof of Concept project we will re-evaluate materials, and things that need improvement in the future. Thanks for watching Joyce.
I’m not sure you have to change materials, just change which side of the fence that it’s mounted. Have just the nipples accessible to the pigs and they won’t be able to (as easily) break the PVC or tear up the hose.
(bonus points for drilling holes in a 2x4 for the nipples to come through, so there’s less potential for flexing)
Speaking of Flys. How are the fly traps doing?
Thanks for the reminder. I hadn't thought about those traps for awhile.
I will update how they're doing in the future.
OMG - I never knew pigs could be so destructive! I hope that feeder works out for you. Sure was a great idea. The Emu was pretty clever taking your hat - perhaps he/she wants one for themselves. Great video - thank you and Be Blessed!
Pigs are real destructive. If they didnt taste so good I dont think anyone would raise them! LOL
@@OurWyomingLife haha
Mike and Jeff are not just Ranchers you are inventing the next big thing in the pig 🐷 feeding industry. You should patent your invention.
LOL James! Jeff and I have a patent attorney on the case! LOL
Hi Mike Erin Family & Jeff,so enjoyed watching you build the pig feeder & water pipes.Great ideas!Have a nice week end!🌷💕🌷

Nice work Mike & Jeff. I was one of those people who fell asleep during the 30 in 30 build.
Thanks Melissa. Question is did the construction noise wake ya up?
@@OurWyomingLife I dozed off and on during it.
I like how you built the pig feeder
Thank You Randy.
Are we taking bets on when the pigs will bite through the hose and flood their the pig pen?
My thoughts exactly Bruce!🫣
Bet companies blocked the bet. It fall to zero.
If they destroy the hose we will revisit the delivery system.
@@OurWyomingLife but won't the water run constantly Mike
Thanks for taking us along!
Your welcome and thanks for watching Deb.
you need a valve on the end to open and flush out the water. in the summer the water will get hot enough that they will not drink it and you will need to flush it out to cool it back down
I found the lickset bar worked well for the pigs, goats, and sheep. Saved a lot of time cleaning troughs that the ducks and geese would get dirty before I could get choreing done. Fun watching both you guys being creative!
I really want the repurpose things like IBC totes and so many other things because I want to get into homesteading or farmsteading.
I love 'let's make something from wood' projects!! Thanks for this fun video!!
Glad ya liked it Evelyn.
we put a steel stock tank up on a heavyish steal stand with the same nipple drinkers in the bottom of the tank and it worked quite well for us.
Great innovation for the water system and pig feeder. I would have painted the bottom of the OSB to help prevent moisture from soaking up into the OSB.

Your welcome Austin, have a good weekend.
Thanks our wyoming life
The pig feeder and the pig waterer are interesting designs. Is there a patent pending stamp on the "OWL Pig Feeder"? . . . just wondering. 😊
Great design. I could see rain getting in aroumd the sides tho. Love the water pipe.
Great concept coming to life. Enjoy your video's
Great job on the waterers, they are working well. I'm afraid the OSB though, will disintegrate pretty quickly setting on the ground like that! But the design of the feeder is really good!
Thanks Christine. We shall see how the OSB works out. The feeder is only Proof of Concept and changes will undoubtably made.
Awesome new water and feeder. Hope they work. Have a great weekend.
Thanks Scott. Hope you have a good weekend also.

Are you guys born creative?????🤔 Thanks for having a creative mind that allows you to do new and exciting things on the Ranch. Can I shadow you guys🤭🤭
Nah I just think of something and Jeff and I come up with a possible solution. Thanks for watching Laura.

I like watching People invent New Things.. Pretty Cool..
I think I would of set that thing on something up off the ground. That OSB and plywood is gonna rot real fast when it gets wet. And of course they will climb inside it and take a dump etc etc:-)
The feeder is in the Proof of Concept stage for now. We shall see what changes need to be made. Thanks for watching Mike.

I know your trying to make it on a tight budget but i think the sheet metal lining the inside would make life easier...Love the videos.....
Love your video brother keep up your Ranch video brother.👍👍🤘😄
What about using metal flashing over the "peak" inside the feeder? It would prevent feed from getting up on or falling between the joint there.
The joint is pretty tight at the moment, but its one of the places we will keep an eye on. Thanks for watching Dawn.
I work in a warehouse so am used to seeing everything on pallets. I makes moving and keeping off the wet ground easier

Silly question for you... Why didn't you put that piggy feeder next tothe fence so you didn't have to go in with the tractor?
Good ideals right there. Appreciate you sharing the feeder 👍
Wow that's a good idea an y'all done a great job
Thanks Nita.

Thanks KaShaSu Lea for the suggestions.
You can flip that pig water bar 180 degrees to get thr hose fitting on the opposite side.
yes the spouts should be put threw drilled holes in the wood to pig proof
Thats an idea Jerry. Thanks

They have two galvanised feed troughs one for water and one for feed. They are filled twice a day and twice a day they are upside down.
Mike if I were you I would build a metal cage around PVC for sure they are going to bite a hole in it then you know... thoughts. 🤔🙏💜
Maybe install a 'gutter' to put under the waterer to catch the excess water, so the ground doesn't get so muddy?

AWESOME JOB you two…!!! Terrific video Mike!!
Its recycle reuse repurpose. Love the feeder hope in works well .
Thanks Feathered Life.
Fantastic video! Ingenious projects!
Mike that is one mean farm hand beating that wood
Hey Mike maybe use black rubber for the doors on the feeder might make it more water resistant.
It is useful to repurpose IBC's for lots for projects
I agree. IBC's can be used for a lot of things. Thanks for watching Earl.
Will the pig start chewing on the hose and flood the pen?
Hope not Thomas, but I wouldn't be surprised at anything they do.
Could you tie the pvc pipe to a 250 gallon tank outside the pen? I have to haul water to them anyway in a tote anyway, be easy yo offload tote to tote outside the pen.
Emu wants your hat! LOL Great pig feeder.
You've invented the Galloway Lake Pig Feeder! Everyone with want them!
LOL Mario, We have a marketing plan already in mind now! LOL
These pigs are so happy 😂❤
But I just wanted to take measure so I don't know how to read them that well. I'm always off of my measurements yeah? Thanks. For your comment. I know it's still costly but I'm only hoping that tub will work. Now alright I'll be watching you. Mike take care have a good day today.
Thanks for the comments and watching Cory.
I absolutely love your genius. Pig feeder built from the hip. Hope they don’t chew it up now. How is the goat playhouse working?
Thank you June.
Just a suggestion why you set the pig on center blocks to keep itb off the ground cause sooner or later after that wood gets wet it will start rot at some point that was a great idea
Shallow concrete troughs work, but need a very heavy base. Only occasionally was it shifted. But was only one massive pig at a time.
Its beginning to look good
Looks like the pigs are liking it
Thanks Terresia. They seem to be taking to it.
Hello all😊
Don't you think the osb little heavy for the small pigs if you use sheets of plastic for the out side an the shoot would last longer then osb or plywood
how is the deer fence working out, i bult the same one and no deer in garden since.
Look like yall done a great job on the pig feeder
Thanks Brad.
Great video Mike and Jeff,the t short your wearing,is that on your on line sales?
I want to use that rack for the bottom and cut a hole and that so at least have a frame port so I'm get damaged good idea and playwood you'll need to go higher.
Hi Mike
What if you made some kind of hinge to keep flaps open for Pig food
Bambi needs a bib, when she walked up and stuck her nose in the gator she drouled all down the inside of the door. Better yours than mine. One suggestion on the pig feeder would be use some 4x4's across the bottom so it isn't sitting directly on the ground and you could easily pick it up with the skidsteer and forklift on it. It would make it easier to move it and to just bring it out to refill.
I was going to say, that will warp & the pigs will chew on it. Good idea though. Also, won't those pink pigs sunburn?
The emu trying to eat your hat made me laugh!
we used.metal feeders n they still tore them up n they like to chew up wood
Good job mike
Reduce Reuse Recycle!!! Great job!
