Hello I am a pig farmer in France i worked 20 years ago for Murphy Familly Farms and i am following you, you are doing a really great job. Congratulations
The similarities between your pig sheds and my poultry houses is remarkable. With longitudinal tunnel we found that covering the 50"fans gave us less drafts and less temp fluctuations. Great barn.
Now thats the explanation that everybody can live whit,good thinking about the setup,i quess that took more time than build the whole barn which is normal, good preparation is the keyword and you guys did,thanks and greetings from a Dutch dairyfarmer and keep drinking milk
A little pro tip for you on your curtains, when it’s time to replace them , leave the rope up that holds it to the barn. Replace the curtain but leave the curtain on the outside of the ropes. Once the curtain is replaced cross hatch a new rope over the new curtain. This eliminates a lot of wear from the curtain sliding on the bird wire. The curtain slides on the old rope that holds it off the bird wire. Avoid any vertical ropes so any wear is spread across the the entire curtain rather than a single spot. I install my ropes on 4’ centers with a screw hook every 2 foot. The enter and outer ropes form X’es across the front of the barn.
Great work guys. I am really impressed with what you have achieved and your overall attitude. I have learnt a huge amount about pig farms, how they are built and why they are built a certain way.
Hello! I’m new to pig farming and I was wondering if you could do a sort of cost breakdown video of how much it cost y’all to build this amazing pig barn. Like all farmers know this is a big deal, and a lot of money to invest in your operation.
I would call your local builder. They did some themselves. So saved some money. I doubt they share exact numbers. But building itself, without electric and excavation probably around 400k
Just found your channel. You both do a great job of explaining what you are doing and why. I'm hooked. In any of your videos did you detail costs on building the barn.
@@thislldofarm ok I understand keep up the good vibes I love everything about your videos I have watch every video of yours thanks for da good videos 🙏🤝
Do you know where your pigs are coming from maybe they are from my barn. Also you will not be disappointed in the wet and dry feeder it is the only way to go
Yes sir, all our barns run a pre programmed temperature ramp. We start out at 78 with 21 day old pigs, hold that temp for 10 days and then start dropping it slightly every day to get the barn to 65 by about day 80. Thanks for watching! The brooder heaters run on their own curve for the first 2 weeks. Thanks for watching!
@@torktalks5573 thank you so much I just help people (not for money) an many times it’s like it does not work. So it’s difficult for me to understand the real issue. So thanks for taking the time to answer. I’m just idiot that understands how to program things

Thanks for watching and whole milk is the only way to go for me!
Thanks for sharing and I do like watching your post. Have a nice safe day!!
Another nice tour of the new building. The new barn is awesome! I can feel the excitement, great job on your video.
Great piece, thanks.
Very nice to understand how you design the barn based on experience and your operation. Thanks for explainging it
Nice set up, best of luck with it. Hope the barn gets paid off nice and quickly too. Greetings from western Canada

Great looking barn guys . Love your videos keep up the good work 👍👍
Thanks Danny! Appreciate the support 🙏

Thanks for the videos.
Thank you for the full intensed tour. And for explaining everything.
You bet Tammy! Thanks for always watching!
Thanks for this thorough explanation of the new facility. Like I said in the last vlog, this is obviously a very PROFESSIONAL operation. Well done.
Appreciate it Ken! Trying to show people we aren't just winging it. We take producing great food for the world very seriously.
Congrats on the new barn. Looks great guys!
Thanks! L.B. White kept everything toasty during all this sub zero weather so kudos to you guys also!
@@torktalks5573 Great to hear! :)

With the second half it looks a lot better
Glad you enjoyed it!
Looks good!

So interesting!
Glad you thought so!

Thanks Cedon! We will be doing a cost breakdown video in the near future. Stay tuned.

Coming soon! Thanks for watching!
In Canada where I live i work for a feed mill are big tanker holds 40000 kgs or 88000 lbs
I’ll crack a cold Busch light 🍺nice looking barn how many pigs do you guys raise
Thanks Mark! Right at 20k a year wean/ finish and nursery roughly 10k more as overstocks. Thanks for watching!
Feeding while watering. Smart.
I love your videos wish u could give us 3 videos a week
Im trying my best buddy! I need more time! Thanks for watching! I'll try to push for more videos.
@@thislldofarm ok I understand keep up the good vibes I love everything about your videos I have watch every video of yours thanks for da good videos 🙏🤝
Great barn and informative video, just wondering how many gate pins you've lost down the slats 🙄
I can honestly say that I’ve only dropped 1 that I can remember and EIP has always sent a few extra so it’s all good. Thanks for watching!
Love the tour and I love the nipple bars. I'm trying to think how I can incorporate that into the barns that I manage.
We made the decision about 6 years ago and wouldn’t go back. They’ve really helped getting pigs started. Thanks for watching!
Do you know where your pigs are coming from maybe they are from my barn. Also you will not be disappointed in the wet and dry feeder it is the only way to go
i show pigs for 4H in INDIANA
Just wondering. Why do you not build auto sort barn?
You mentioned your target temperature several times what exactly is that temp?We live in southwest Co and really have enjoyed your videos
We start the barn at 78. The brooders zone at 82. The brooders are out after two weeks. We ramp the barn to 65 by about 80 days. Thanks for watching!
👍
Is the nipple bar an extra adage to the wet/dry feeders, or is it standard to starting pigs?
We highly recommend starting pigs with nipple bars regardless of what type of feeder you have. Pretty standard.
Hopefully you guys are doing ok with this cold weather.
I’ve piled more snow this year than in many past. I’m ready for spring. Love the seasons though. Thanks for watching!
Do you change the temperature inside based on the age of the pig?
Yes sir, all our barns run a pre programmed temperature ramp. We start out at 78 with 21 day old pigs, hold that temp for 10 days and then start dropping it slightly every day to get the barn to 65 by about day 80. Thanks for watching!

Where did you get the pigs from? Are they imported?
All come from company owned sow units in SE. IA and North central MO.
Hi
Howdy!
Cool… Popeyes know his shit…..
How are you guys doing with this nasty cold wave.
It's cold that's for sure! Sick of moving snow! Ready for spring
