- Catching Piglets Made EASY!
Today we are catching and weaning piglets. Come along as we set up a weaning pen, catch them and get them ready to wean off their moms.
And yes, we do watch Pete at “Just A Few Acres Farm”

Chris from Homesteading the Hard Way says the Lord dont hold what you say against you when your chasing pigs. 😅😊
“Momentary lapse in judgement” lol. The brains of the operation!
Sandra looks like she just wanted Hong Kong phooey recently ! 🤪 her kicks r impressive 😝
Watched not wanted
Always enjoy watching! Watching Saundra catching them pigs, reminded me of the day she went pig riding! Always praying for you all!
"Momentarily lapse in judgement" 🤣😂🤣
Hello everyone . The pigs are huge. but also very lovely.
Happy for you and your progress. Hopefully those other four will be in the weaning pen soon. God bless you.
Great video
Great video. Thanks for sharing it with us.
God bless you and your beautiful wife and family. 🙋🏻♀️❤️🇺🇸
Getting it Done ❤❤❤
Neat tool, much better than a post pounder!
Ive been putting my big ones in a pin i set up (easy to take down and set) so i dont have to watch out for attacks. Sometimes leave it up like a wild hog trap if i want to catch all the piglets as well. The design has a spring trap using the hog panels as well
That’s a nice tractor
Them mommas get after you
Shoot! I was impressed with the old pole driver, but this one is the Cadillac of pole drivers. Nice!
Big red has y'alls number!
I have to take my hat off to you and your wife! I have never heard of much less seen anybody take baby pigs with their mother around that close to them. mother pigs are extremely dangerous. WOW!! I still can't believe it. I send my Blessings from my family to yours!
Good video!
No hog riding this time? I got all excited
Instead of calling you skinny jeans we'll call you short jeans🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣You might want to get 4 foot T posts Next time so you can reach them
Hi, I like your net little tool. Nice work on the pig 🐖 pen. You let your wife do the dirty work
Thanks for sharing. Happy to see the piglets back in the videos. Saundra like the new hat. Is that going to be available in your store? Best wishes, D
Y'all need to get a corral together to separate the littles from the bigs
4' tall plywood or logs 16' round pen..
And one exit gate board that slides up or door style.. Scoot all inside , filter out the big ones..
Use materials that you have (not gates or panels (stuff you can't see through
You must be keeping them until about the 12-week mark? Because those piglets are huge already! We start letting ours go as of about 8/9 weeks, since by then they're well onto feed and forage. They're also more manageable/not as heavy :p We try to space out when they go, too, so it's easier on the moms as far as drying up, and typically we hang onto one or two per litter.
If you ever do it where you're only removing a few at a time, a crate can be useful: sprinkle in some feed and once the number of piglets to go are in, shut the door and carefully carry the crate out. With this way, the piglets' feet never leave the ground so the screaming bloody murder is eliminated, thereby also not getting the moms spooked and going into attack mode ;) We have also found - in instances where we've had to carry a piglet any kind of a distance - that if you hold the piglet in such a way that all four of its feet are touching you, they calm right down and stop squealing, thus mom immediately calms down, as well :)
Try loading the driver horizontally, then stand it up to drive it
Wow, that was so job and a half rounding them up, squealing seemed minimal to us!!
Blessings!!
Thx
😅I had a similar experience with my pigs! What day moving those little guys
Share your video today trying to get more TH-cam viewers for you there's a couple of Friends and family that raise pigs Here in Canada BC on Vancouver Island
LOL! Nosey piggies! 🐷
What happened to JW??
JW is flying under the radar
Do you still have your Kioti tractor?
👍
How old our the piglets when the boys loose their wallets?
Chuck, I love ya man, but maybe that post driver should be left for the skinny jean folk.
I've got an old fashioned post pounder , much easier than that contraption..
Squeaky wasn't squeaking when he bought that contraption...LOL
That depends on how many you're driving and into what kind of soil.
@@oldnorthstateoutdoors2002 I have very good deep soil here but my last home we had horrible Rocky soil mines a Grey weighted one with two handles. Goes over the T posts and you push it up and let it drop about 4 to 6 xs theyre in. Yours looks very awkward and heavy and takes forever to get the post in. Mine only costs 20 bucks and I've been useing it through 3 houses and one house I lived in for 28 years, them 6 years and now 16 years. They still sell them and their still Grey . Way easier
@@Sandra-hk8ks I still use the old style myself. I just had to buy a new one because we beat the end out of my old one. I am just saying if I was fencing in 10 acres on this dense red clay soil I would see renting one like he has on the video. I could not justify buying one though. They are crazy expensive.
I see chemicals trails in your skys to.
I'd be careful, ain't to many women I know that don't do pigs 😅
Chuck I love you guys but you scare me to death! You need a better dog to watch those sows or at the very least a good cattle prod! Y’all know you are just a snack to those girls when you’re messing with their babies!❤❤❤
17 pigs on 4 sows. your pasture farrowing needs work.
