Setting Up the Perfect 1 Acre Pig Farm (in the woods)

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
- It's time to move the woodlot pigs to the next paddock. We clear a path in the woods for the fence and get the pigs onto fresh ground. I reminisce about my late father and how I'm working the land now just as he and his father before him did.

The best gift I received from my father was the love of gardening. He did veggies and flowers and even fruit trees.
“They’ll get it.” 💜 Meanwhile, Jonah: Uh, there’s dirt on your nose..? 😁😁 Happy Spring, family!
Bout time
“We come from the earth, we return to the earth, and in between we garden.” Many blessings from our homestead to yours.
👍❤️✌️🦋
My daddy had a saying about someone who was very happy: 'He's as happy as a pig in slop!" Gotta love those little piggies :)
Ive heard that saying all my life. Im the only one born out of the hills of arkansas, but ive always loved those hills. Nothing like it.
🤩👍❤️🦋
It took me more than 30 years to accept my path, connected to the earth, and I'm about to fulfill my dream, the beginning of my destiny.. Thank you for your inspiration.. ❤️🇵🇹
To me it's amazing to think about that your dad plowed the area you're now walking in. I think that's what you're saying. And now it's all covered by trees and Forest. That's very interesting to me
Jonah is very talented 🐄🐖🐂
I know you won't read this but you talk about cutting yourself and all them braches in there while your clearing. So you might want to think about carrying Henry through the woods. He doesn't understand ducks move while you walk through the woods
i wish these weren't so short
Josiah's face after he sniffed the dirt " smells like dirt" dad's lost his mind.
Yep, one day they will get it! To understand takes a bit of time as we grow up, you are passing these things down to your children so they too will know how to survive.
Good dirt does smell good
Josiah's face as he looks at the dirt..😆🤣honesty in his face is priceless
Jonah gets a lot of deserved attention as the oldest and he is so hard working, smart and inventive. BUT, there is something so adorable about Josiah. This is another kid to watch, the quiet one’s will always surprise you.
I think he’ll do something else besides farming.
@@19queenbee55 Never. Didn't you see the video. This is their family's land
@@19queenbee55 - My prediction. Both boys are into heavy machinery and building so I predict they will go into construction, Jonah out on the job site and Josiah running the office.
@@kenchappell2054 Yes ... Both love figuring out mechanical things! Such a blessing to have that ability when you live on the farm. ❤️
Absolutely blessed with beautiful parents😘❤️✌️🦋
Does anybody else miss the old style vlogs
One day they'll get it, and appreciate it for a lifetime. They will teach their children that appreciation, and that will last an eternity
You and The Beautiful One have done a wonderful job of raising the chitlers. This is what drew me to your channel from the beginning. Watch them play and explore and be real children. Was such a beautiful thing in the modern world. Now watching them grow up and be so inventive and hard working people. It really has been a inspiration to me in the ability of parents to teach and love their children naturally without all the craziness that the world says we need. God bless you and your family
Sorry but this man has never given glory to God on this channel.
You have excellent helpers 👍
Boots and Josiah, 2 drips of water. ( I don't know how you in America say this, but in dutch it means, they have the same looks)
Greetings from the Netherlands
They usually say something like "spitting image" of someone in the family. If they act the same way as someone in the family they say "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree".
Two peas in a pod
@@StoneKathryn thank you
@@sararussell6182 thank you
Justin there is no doubt in my mind that Mr Boots is calling our to the masses in heaven, he yall come look at this, that's my boy and his boys and girl making my farm into something amazing.
You need a chipper in that old pig pen chip those old sticks and improve the soil from that.
You need a chipper for all the wood.
8:38 Josiah's thinking "yeah I already smelled it Dad, and it smells like shit😂💩"
Josiah is like what? Are you kidding me, my Dad has lost it, OK I’ll smell it
Miss seeing the burn it up cooking show and more of the family vlog style. So nice to see everyone today 💓
It's springtime. That's outside busy time on a farm. Especially in a state that gets pretty hot most of the day.
Your kids are smart Sir, listen them. They have great skills.🤔😇😎
Is the dog able to get any exercise at all or does he have to stay penned in that small enclosure?
They just recently got her. She's being kept there until she's fully acclimated to the sheep and property.
Love your videos as always. I have a question, Isn't Autumn suppose to replace one of your milking cows?
8:37 I'm dying hahahahaha 🤣😂
He’s not impressed. Lol
Justin please address in a video why you choose to move eletric netting every day as opposed to building at least some permanent fencing to reduce work load while still being able to make daily rotations.
Keep up the good work as I know your helping thousands of people
I think he wants to run cattle in there after the pigs get thru. He'd have to take the permanent fence back down.
part of regenerative farming methods.. the land gets a rest and the grazers who by nature poo and pee where they eat , so less parasite pressure on them if you mimic nature kee the grazers moving.. pasture is more productive from being fertilized and grazed and the animals are healthier.. way more cost effective...
He d have to build 8 separate paddocks as that is how he envisions the rotation. All rotations happening as they’ve cleared the area but not dug it up as pigs will do. After each rotation he ll clear that area of old trees, fallen branches, trees and any brush the pigs don’t eat. As he does this it ll be easier to set the wire. The first setting takes the time because it’s wild land at that point. Once the pigs go through he wants to have that area for the cows also to rotate through. A permanent fence just isn’t feasible for the way he sees the future use. And he doesn t move the fencing every day. It’s every week or so. Today s video just showed that move
I personally did this with perm fencing and use it for multiple different animals and find it alot less labor intensive while completely suitable for different animals . I see no way that this would restrict use .
Time is the most precious commodity you have on homestead and with your kids. I see no benefit from. Repetitive work.
Thanks for sharing your heartfelt thoughts-the foundational, worthwhile meaning of it all. We are bound to family in many ways, this being one.
Thanks for a nice, relaxed video, shoot i would live out with them, it's way better than whom i live with!!🐷🐖🐷
What was the size for each of the 12 paddocks? do you have an aerial view of all 12 paddocks?
100 gallons of water comes within a couple of hundred pounds of Sally's weight limit. Add driver and kids, and you're there. Take care.
I love you Justin kissing the dirt!!! We have something in common!!! ❤️
Hi..... Justin Rhodes, thank you for showing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🏡🎥👍👍👍
As dad shoves the handful of soil under Josiah's nose for another stiff: Dad your gettin deep...ok I'll sniff it again if it will make you happy 😊
OMG! Why is Winnie the Pyr in that tiny pen with all those other animals. She can not protect your herds penned up or tied up. I feel so sorry for her. If you allow her to freely roam the farm, and be part of your family (when outside) she will protect them. Look at other farms with Pyrs, they are not tied up or caged. I am telling you from experience - we had 100 goats, free ranging on 50 acres. Our Pyrs were free to do their job of protecting, and they did, plus they also were loved on and followed us around when we were outside. They worked all night, and slept most of the day.
Why not keep heifers for breeding and milk .... scaling up

Can pigs be raised on wooded area if the area is on a pretty steep sloap?
Hi guys, I enjoy Watching your videos;however, I have noticed that the duration of your videos is shorter the usual. Is there a reason for it?
🇬🇧 I see Henry’s walking!! 🎊🧸
🇳🇱great, let the pigs do the work and the advantage will be that the meat they produce is of excellent quality, greetings from the Netherlands, Hans.👍👍👍👍👍👍🍀
Why not allow the calves to nurse on the other cows, is it bad for them?
It's not bad. They keep the calves off at night and milk in the morning for the family to use and let the calve had the milk all day until night fall. That calve was draining the family's supply.
A lovely legacy, though JOsiah did not look too impressed smelling dirt lol
Justin, your kids think you're nuts with the dirt smelling. 😂
Please haul out the trees you cut down. At the least it will make kindling.
In permaculture it is good to feed the land back. He might leave them there to rot so the minerals that the trees bring up from the deep roots will then feed the land.
Jonah thinks you're 🤪
A place where we have a house, that is now a vacant home for holidays is in my father's family for over 200 years. It's not large like what you have, but when i smell it, I can't help but wonder about all these generations that lived there, used it for so many different crops and fruits. I will keep it, upgrade it and pass it on one day. I wouldn't sell it even if they offer me 1 million dollars. I'm that serious... :)
love the boys! I fixed it!!! and the humor and your positivity
My people lived in the Carolinas before the Europeans came to this continent. For thousands of years we lived the land. Grew the land. Raised families on the land. Land connects us to our ancestors. We , the Indigenous peoples of this land belive that we are just keeping it in trust for the next 7 generations. I like how you keep the memories of your ancestors/family but also plan for you children and children's children.
Wow ! All I can say you are one blessed man ! You are making a life few families have ! Your connection with your late father, and his dad is a wonderful thing ! I love watching you grow , and the way you engage your children in your decisions is amazing .
Thank you
You spent 24hours with the chickens, think it mite b time to spend 24hours with "Winnie" bonding is important to dogs n you took her from someone she had bonded with early on In Her life...time To be with her n do the bonding time under the stars. N just maybe she will eat with you n not the leashes n stay with the sheep cuz you spent time with her n them !!! Try it ,you n she will like it !!!
Hi Justin.
What happened with your Lymes disease?
Are you better?
Do you still do the carnivore diet?
As you get older your skin is thinner, and if you are on blood thinners or daily asprin, you will bleed easily. Lots of Vit C helps strengthen your blood vessels. Your pigs are improving the hill sides! Good work!
Generally curious, why sell all the cows instead of raising them for meat?
Do y'all have big predators tto contend with? Feel like we have too many mountain lion and black bear to keep pigs in our forest🤔
@8:27 Looks like a young Gordon Ramsay.
The Boys are all thinkin', Dad's weird'n out again.
U boys have a LOT of toys.... LOL... U mean they can't have the whole acre.... LOL
Diesel is mobile. Walking
Why aren’t you keeping stud muffin heifers for the a1 milk genetics
You Did It Again~Precious Memories~😢🤗❤👍
If they escape, they turn into wild pigs and can ravage your farm
Just a couple of quick questions: how many pigs in the paddock?! An acre divided into 12 paddocks would be about 3500-3600 sq.ft. each... and how many days in each paddock?! A week to 10 days?!
My apologies! Please ignore the question... I just got the answer to these questions in a previous video from last week 😊😊😊 ALLLL good!
Stanley George here again... By the way, this is my channel... We're following in your footsteps... Thank you, Justin.. God Bless You...
The price of land has skyrocketed this year, even an acre is getting to be out of reach. At least I can dream.
What size paddocks did you divide the acre into? Sorry if you mentioned it in the video, I missed it.
A jiggle siphon might be helpful for the pig water . Happy trails
How many acres do you have total? I'd love to have a farm like yours
Awesome!
Wish famliy land still here How is the subdivision
Josiah never Ceases to amaze me! Lord!!!!!
Do you mean he never ceases to amaze you?
@@StoneKathryn Yes! Lord!
Has to be a better way to move the pig water and feed containers.
Pretty sure ur next to is a rock picker..... LOL
Josiah's face HAHAHAHA love the realness
What’s your best tic preventor?
Hi those piglets looks beautiful
Something real in a world filled with deceit
❤️❤️ your openness and your heart!
Are comings with the lord Jesus
Your kids are amazing ❤️❤️❤️
Love your memories of Boots Justin and thanks for sharing! Blessings! 👏👏👏👍👍👍🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️❤️
That brush mower is sweet!
Funny Justin. You say we have 20 minutes and the boys think go back home or go make ice coffee! You think chainsaw or tractor mower deck to clear for the pig fence! Beautiful roast Rebekah! Piglets are so cute and none of them have died? So glad that Jonah could fix the pig feeder. He was using his Leatherman, cool! Great, put some of the animals up for sale. I know Polly is stunted in growth but what kind of milk will she give, A2A2? Autumn was Phyllis' calf right? Can she be your new milker? Phyllis is getting old. Autumn is Studmuffin's calf so I guess that would be a problem. That's cool that you feel close to your dad Boots when you are in the woods making the paddocks for the pigs. Now you're taking Boots' place! So wonderful Justin. Thanks for this.
Hi Justin! Do you use two separate pig fences? How long is each one? Solar charger? I'm hoping to run pigs in my woods within the year, the logistics are just bogging me down! Love these videos, thank you
Possible low iron for the bleeding
The boys are gems and and Lily is a doll I love seeing her in her colourful clothes making a point,,, one can dress up and do your work!!!!!! My the piglets have grown up !!!!
Mr Justin you have an amazing family and you're an awesome daddy to your kids,teaching them what life is about on & off the farm,ya'll working together just amazes me,I say that because nowadays families working together on the farm is just about unheard of,especially with younger kids,ya'll have done & are doing a super fantastic job as a family,may the Lord continue to bless you and your family
Or keep more cows to sell the a1 milk
Hi Justin, I love your channel. It’s action straight away, that’s why I’ve been watching every single video in full from day one. This is how my vlogs will be like. Love you guys ♥️🇬🇧
I think those HGH-growing workouts are stimulating creativity and helping with more than just bodily strength, Justin and Rebekah! Fun video and, I'm excited to see what transpires with the 🐷 🐖 🐷🐖!
When you kissed the hand full of dirt, it made my heart swell.
Why is this in my recommended ??
You should increase pigs
Your boys gave you a look like is that pig Pooh? They did not look like oh it's dirt or compost. What a look! Yes someday they will get it!. Hard work and many generations of fulfillment.
Baby walking🤔😇
Nice video but all I could think of when you kissed that dirt was "I hope this doesn't turn into a chicken liver episode" LOL.
Absolutely beautiful ❤️
I loved your heart talk...
Love to touch what my mother touched brings me comfort.
