I'm glad to see that your pigs have their babies in a comfy spot instead of a cramped cage. Pigs are very intelligent and beautiful, giving them affection and a good long life is the least we can do. Free range pork is the best!
Karma, i absolutly love all your animal video,s And you have a very good way to bring your knowledge over to other people!! I hope we see more of your farm in the future!! Thanks, all the best!!
I raised thousands of pigs and they are all good grazers if you put them out on something to graze. Pasture is just a supplement to a balanced feed and protein mix such as corn and bean meal.
I chose to b a vegan due in part to the fact that i kept getting sick eating meat. For me personally, i dont get sick anymore; i feel better; look better; havent aged really i get u look late 20's early 30"s. But i dont tell people who eat meat not to. All i say is find out the truth behind factory farming of meat and milk etc. God bless u for ur farmimg methods. I pray one day that if u choose meat that all farms are set up like your place. What a healthier world this would be. being a humane farmer should b more common place. thank u
great videos, I also use your style of raising my pigs, found your castration video most helpful, will be doing my 1st litter this spring, previously only had the pot belly pigs did the cut method & yes it bled more, will be doing the pull method with my Yorkshires. Thanks for a great series of videos
Olá minha querida, você é uma mulher maravilhosa e muito trabalhadora, seus animais são de boa qualidade, por isso venho desejar lhe muita saúde paz e felicidades, Deus te abençoe sempre
It's great to see pigs allowed to be pigs--at least for part of their life. Most see nothing but cement and iron, and the sows are separated from their litter by iron bars. Left alone, a sow will remain attached to its children for life, fixing their bedding every night. And one good, randy, productive boar is all you need. It's interesting to hear about the individual temperaments of different sows, which squares with the discoveries of many pig lovers. It's also gratifying to see pigs that are able to retain their great tails.
I think all pigs are roughly the same for gestation periods. general rule of thumb is 3 months 3 weeks 3 days. officially I think it is 114-116 days. up here in Minnesota our butcher weight we try to get around 250 but some may get to 275-300
This world needs to emphasize more importance of a pigs life .Is your life and family more important than theirs? Screw the hotdogs. Keep the Pigs alive.
I used to raise hogs. I had to have stalls so the mothers could not flop down for about 10 days to 2 weeks. Yes it is a lot more work but it saved me a lot of pigs being smothered or crushed.
Hi there, you really have a great video. Can i ask about your feeds? Do you self-mix it? Or you buy commercial feeds? If you do mix it yourself, what's the ratio of the ingredients?
Your videos are great i have learned alot. I have a small farm and am trying to get it going on a shoestring budget. I have 2 hogs that are 10 - 12 mos old. I had them on pasture all last year but i'm finding it increasingly difficult to keep them in "their" pasture. The gilt no longer respects the electric fence and often the boar follows her. Do you have any suggestions?
Gator Creek Farm i would say number 1 is more juice. you shouldn't use a little garden fencer, you need one that will knock them down then they will know not to touch it again
@@nick4leader Yup. I got Parmak, shoots about 14k volts and I have no trouble. They know not to touch it. They even get close and it zaps them with a spark.
did u make vermi composting out of your livestock manure? because i'm quite sure that you can collect massive amount of manure in the number of livestock you have which is very profitable.
How is the Tamworth meat? I have heard it is a redder meat. Does it still have a distinctive pork flavor? I've leaned toward duroc because of this, but I have never had opportunity to taste tamworth
Hello. I have a boar and gilt, both over 2 years old, that are not displaying sexual behavior any time of the month. What can I do to get them to breed?
Would like to ask if any of you have heard of a plant called yacon. Looks like a sweet potato, tastes like a fruit, grows from a rhizome and pigs in South America are crazy about it.
Im curious, when you say bringing in new genetics. Why don't you use artificial insemenation? You can get really top quality stock from these Hog sperm banks.
+Rickey Electrci fence probably Desormeaux very effective for pigs and entertaining for humans for ashort period of time until the pigs have all been shocked after contact has been made you can remove the fence and not be able to drive the pigs across the place where the fence was.
I'm not a vegan, but I feel it would be a mark of a decent human being to let an accomplished retired sow go free instead of to the slaughter house as if they're not emotionally and neurologically capable mammals and undeserving of a single ounce of humane consideration.
You can just release pigs in the wild. Wild hogs destroy agricultural land is the main reason. The second reason is farmers have to maximize profit margins on every pig in order to achieve a sustainable business. Keeping every sow until death would bankrupt these farms.
@william Beattie , thanks for taking the time to reply. I am in Nigeria. I have a fish farm here, and I also do little poultry. But I am interested in starting a pig farm, I would be so glad to get some advice and info from you... @truckseeker helix, get it into your head that it is not all Nigerians that takes and steal people's money, we have a lot of hard working people here and I am proud to be one of them, all I ask for is info about how yo start a pig farm and not even from you, but you chooses to judge me cos of your believe about we Nigerians, I pray God forgive you.
Thanks for your reply Kristen Gibson, would appreciate if you can send me e-book on how to set up a pig farm, and the management, the feeding formula and other necessary information's. my email ifedayookunola@yahoo.com. Thanks

Thanks for telling your story about your 🐖 .Great Story
Thanks so much for taking the time to share all this stuff. Very helpful stuff :)
Bye the way your pigs are very well maintained. Nice pigs you have taken good care of them.
Your farm ist amazing! You produce very good, delicious and healthy food.
So helpful....took away a lot of knowledge from these videos.

I think it is intetesting how pigs are the only farm animal that has a litter offspring. Cows, sheep, goats have inly one baby at a time
This is very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

They should all be raised like this
I think all pigs are roughly the same for gestation periods. general rule of thumb is 3 months 3 weeks 3 days. officially I think it is 114-116 days. up here in Minnesota our butcher weight we try to get around 250 but some may get to 275-300
"Retired sows are actually quite valuable to us. They're not a waste. We turn them into hotdogs, and sausages, and bacon..." lol that one hurt :(
This world needs to emphasize more importance of a pigs life .Is your life and family more important than theirs? Screw the hotdogs. Keep the Pigs alive.
Actually yes, a human's life is more valuable than a pig
good information and the pigs look great :)

Very nice techniques

Nice to see tamworths, and good to see a nice approach to farming pigs, have you thought of adding orchards/forest foraging into the mix ?

Hello, what are those big metal half tube you have in the field and where did you get them

what was thrown on the ground at 6:57
how long is their pregancy stage and how much do weight at time to slaughter?
Im curious, when you say bringing in new genetics. Why don't you use artificial insemenation? You can get really top quality stock from these Hog sperm banks.
Do you sell your gilts
Do pigs eat grass?
corn and soy is gmo unless you get organic and i honestly don't want to feed those. what else would u feed
haave you thought about running the pigs in the woods?
Can I get some info about starting a pastured pig farm from you?
@truthseeker helix, I am sure you are one of those resist . May God forgive you.
how do you keep dem in da fence
+Rickey Electrci fence probably Desormeaux very effective for pigs and entertaining for humans for ashort period of time until the pigs have all been shocked after contact has been made you can remove the fence and not be able to drive the pigs across the place where the fence was.
This became a horror show when she said they were going to become hotdogs.
They're omnivores, they'll eat almost everything like us.
Yeah thanks
Awesome ❤❤❤
I like that color
