    Great tips on pig farming and feed acquisition. I work for a cold storage company (of course I am not going to disclose them) but you are correct in that there is a sickening amount of food waste in this country. Why not turn that into an asset for everyone. I love watching your videos. Wife and I have acquired some tropical rainforest acreage and looking into breeds....of course, I see us getting only about 2 or 3 pigs...probably Idaho pasture pigs, kune kune, or American genea hogs. I am thinking about developing this into a fruit and nut orchard and using the pigs to keep the area clean as well as meat. We are also thinking about doing vacation rentals in cabins in back of the property as well.🌈😃🤙

    I feed my pigs totally free. I have never have bought feed for them. I get beans and bean meal that truck drivers dump on the shoulder of the road by the AG Processing Plant that my wife and son works at. They empty their hoppers along the road after leaving the plant from unloading. They have beans and meal that gets hung up in the hoppers of the trailer. I have several videos of free feed runs. I also pick up corn or beans that farmers spill during harvest.

    Another potential free or low cost option is to ask for spent grain if you have a brewery nearby. From all I've read (aspiring homesteader here, studying and biding time before making the leap), pigs 75lbs and bigger could eat about 50% of their diet in spent brewery grain. Depending on the brewery, they have a LOT of grain that has to get thrown out after they use it for their needs. Not a bad way to supplement feed! Also, dogs love it baked with peanut butter as treats, too. It could even be dried and ground into flour for human consumption too.

    I used to work for a guy who got outdated bread from a bakery. Tons of free feed, literally and some goodies once in a while, too... Hundreds of outdated Entemann's chocolate covered donuts for example. A few times they had some dough to throw out and the pigs sure loved that raised but uncooked dough.

    From my knowledge that would be a wild hog.most likely boar from the size of the dewclaws he is a big boy. Looking to service the gal in the pin. One or some are coming into heat.
    My gramps use to wait till he saw these sights and he would go out with the dogs and round him up. Hobble the boar walk him back to spend time with the Sows. After he got acquainted with each one .He would put him in a different pin get him good and likkered up cut him and feed him out for another 3 months thin it was ham and bacon time for him. He sold all of the piglets when it came time. And waited for the next boar to come by.

    9:12 Buck. Front tracks are noticeably larger. Front tracks also sink in deeper and splay more due to the heavier front end on a mature buck. At first glance, most hunters would call it a running track, but if you look close the edges are sharply cut, there is no sliding of the hoof, and no debris thrown forward of the track. This is a walking track.

    Chuck, this is getting closed to the way we would raise our pigs for our own consumption. They got everything!! Grass clippings, fish guts, all left overs. We had a small deep freezer that we would bag up left overs and clean out the fridge. In the freezer it went. It would feed the pigs for a couple of weeks at least. We also would pick up out of date produce at the local IGA. Milk, bread, veggies. All free!! I haven’t done any of that with these. Wasn’t sure if that might be breaking the rules🤪

    • @SheratonParkFarms
      @SheratonParkFarms  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      So my understanding is that as long as it isn't animal products (waste beef, pork, chicken, etc) you can feed it to them. Animal based waste food has to be heated and there are a bunch of regulations surrounding their use. In NC you have to have a permit to even feed it to them. All of our stuff is strictly vegetable/fruit products. GA may be different, not sure.

    My stepdad fed his pigs from mainly grocery store garbage( old or bruised veggies fruits and orange juice puree. He would litterally get a pickup truck load 3 times a week for free. So i guess he basically fed his pigs for all but free. He would get a 55 gallon drum full of grain once a month. That was it for 3 sows and a boar and all the pigglets. Bread stores is another good way to feed up your pigs too. P.S. always soak your grain. But don't add fruit juice to the grain especially in the summer. You will have soused sows. Yep, they will get pickled. Lol. Ask me how i know! Lmao

    I wouldn't even bother mentioning this except that the feed is out in the weather (I am assuming), but rubber tires have alot of toxins in the rubber and water leaches those toxins out and into whatever is in contact with the tire. You are absolutely right about how perfect they are as feeders, especially the way that you have the 3 of them mounted on that wooden structure, so it pains me to tell you about the nasties that they contain. This info is free and unsolicited, so feel free to heed or ignore it. Thank you so much for sharing farm life and activities with all of us!! Please have a wonderful and blessed new year!!!!!

    Been watching you guys and yall are awesome!! I just got my 1st set of pigs 2 castrated males and was wondering how much should you feed pigs per day? I been feeding these guys like 5 gallons of food per day that is about 2.5 gal of growers feed rest is all produce that i got free is that too much for 2 10 week old pigs? They eat ALOT LOL

    • @SheratonParkFarms
      @SheratonParkFarms  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      If you are growing them out for your freezer or to sell, I’d feed them as much as they want when they want it (free choice). On pigs we are keeping for breeding we limit their feed so if they are going to be pets I’d do 5lvs per pig per day.

    Ethically, I wouldn’t use any soy products to feed any of my animals. With over 90% of soybeans being GMO, I couldn’t claim my animals as pastured, or GMO-free. Not to mention that unfermented soy causes decreases in testosterone and increases in estrogen. Just my two cents worth.

      I always hard boil my glut of spring eggs when I just can’t give them away fast enough, then I feed them to the pigs and to chickens after mashing them up as a treat. I believe there was something about raw eggs causing biotin deficiencies in pigs, but again, you would have to feed them a LOT of uncooked eggs to need worry about that.
