    When my grandfather had his few pigs, he had them in a low fence. The year he replaced the fence, he took it all down at once and the pigs never left their plot. They're smart animals.

  • @Nphen

    Love to see the pigs move! Thank you! Next time you now know how to set up the move in the proper order. Feed them less food, earlier, the day before the move. The day of, take the food troughs out and put them where you want them in the new pen. Load them up with food. Then open up the shortest fence line between the pigs and the food. Look at the direction the last pig ran in the end. You were trying to herd them into a narrow area with fences on 3 sides and tall stuff on the 4th side. It looked to them like they were being herded into a tiny box. Just a thought!

    for the future. U need big boards. When moving pigs open fence, move all their stuff a goodly ways from the gate and walk away. The y will get to new area when they feel like it. Come back a little white later and close gate, No more work needed.
    Now pig boards are used to get them to go onto trailers. Look for a vid on how to use them.

    One thing you can try with the pigs that I found worked back in my childhood days when we had pigs, is attracting them by making sort of a loud eating noise, as if there was another pig eating something. If there are any sound records of it online, maybe a Bluetooth speaker that is placed in direction where they need to go? Or the old school doing it yourself :D But worth a try on a regular day to see if they react!

    Bear in mind also, that pigs can get foot rot, also known as hoof rot. Foot rot in pigs is often associated with unsanitary or wet living conditions. Foot rot is caused by specific pathogenic strains of F. necrophorum and B. melaninogenicus that gain entry through the interdigital skin. These bacteria can persist in wet soil or slurry for very long periods.

    Move them more often? Or perhaps, even better, don't try to move them all at once? What I mean is have a cross over period where they have access to both areas and then start reducing how much of the old area they have access to.
    They seemed to REALLY want to stay in their old home so letting them, while moving where you feed them and where they can get out of the weather would encourage them to move without fuss. It'd just take longer.
    Of course, you WERE successful and it only took an hour to get them moved so *shrug* a success is a success. Besides, it is your first time keeping pigs and everything is a learning process. 8)

    I used to move my pig out to pasture every day and back to the pen every night. I just used his food to lead him across the driveway with no containment along the way. Eventually I just gave him a larger area to live and moved his shelter. The one time he escaped I got him to follow me over 200 feet just by following the food.
