Well, when I was a caregiver and things went haywire, and all the call lights went off at once, I called that adventures in caregiving. I think today that you were having adventures in farming. It was amazing though to see you do it with a baby on your back. My hat is off to you. God bless you and your family. The alfalfa bucket was the bomb.
Build a barrier in one of the corners so the piglets can go under and get away from the mother crushing them. Also in this corner put a heat lamp (be careful of potential fire) hanging so the piglets are warm and they will gravitate there when not suckling on mom. And get the other pig out of there as it can harm the piglets.
Can the baby pigs slip through under the bottom rail of the pen next to the other half and get eaten by daddy on other side? I don't see anyplace the babies can go to get away from momma so she don't lay on them either. Also it makes a place you can put a heat lamp if it turns cold. Baby pigs can chill quickly. Baby pigs are fun. Enjoy.
Ordered your book today. Looking forward to its arrival tomorrow. A city-slicker living her best life through you and your family! Thanks for bringing us along. 🙌
PIGLETS! Oh how exciting! Justin, you are giving your children the best life and education! We also live on a farm with crops, cows, sheep, goats, milk cows and milk goats, bunnies, puppies, mini donkeys, mini ducks, chickens, mini horses, llama…We LOVE our farm life! I am fourteen and I try to educate on my channel too! Someday I hope to inspire others like you do! Thank you so much for sharing your life with us…the good and the bad! Blessings to you!
@@ellenfisher6341 Hello Ellen! We do not use our donkeys for guarding our sheep. We actually have a llama to guard them. Our mini donkeys are for our petting zoo! 🥰
The childhood I wanted .. well, sort of got, our neighbors were all Farmers... I helped them out but honestly I think EVERY kid needs an animal or two to be responsible for.. Great family life!
Yall may want to think about separating those gilts before she has her piglets. Keeping pregnant gilts/sows pen together is fine when ur on pasture or in a larger pen, but the problem ur going to run into with them penned in so tight is the mother doesn’t have a wide enough space to get away from the other one. Crushing or pigs getting eaten is very likely to happen, good luck tho! I’m interested in seeing how all this plays out.
So impressive how hard your children work right beside you to get everything done on the farm but that’s how we were on the farm as well. I started working at the age of five with my dad in the dairy farm and by seven, I was up and throw hay as we build it and working in the garden and helping mom anywhere and everywhere but she wanted, We did as was told and whatever was needed. There’s always so much that needs to be done and farm life takes a lot of hands to get it done. It’s always exciting when new babies are coming… It doesn’t matter what the animal is they are just adorable. Thank you for sharing with us’❣️♥️

I've never known anyone to let a pig farrow with another pig in the pen. Seems like a recipe for a pig to get started on eating piglets. Also most people I know never farrow on woodchips or anything but dirt or grate to prevent crushing.
@@gelwood99 I don't know how many he knows. I just know successful pig farmers; commercial, pastured, backyard, show, and homestead. I've known people who do in fact litter share with their sows but they still farrow them alone and even then from time to time they get a sow who learns to kill and eat piglets. Pigs being pigs they'll eat anything that doesn't get away fast enough.
I legit just commented on Hollar homesteads vlog that the bucket can get stuck on calves heads since they water their calf that way...we had a calf do that and drown...
Yes you would be correct. Also you run the risk of the other gilt/sow killing the piglets, doesn’t always happen but it could. Most will separate farrowing pigs from others.
You know. The cow getting the bucket stuck on his head that made me laugh and honestly I would have just laughed my butt off in that situation. Watching you and your kids handle that and you doing it with little Henry on your back it was something I couldn't have done it would take me time to learn to react quickly and worry about laughing about it afterwards.
Another great video - but Justin! I got my book today "The Rooted Life" I didnt expect it this early but I was just so pumped to receive it. It's fantastic and I can hear your voice as I read it. It sounds just like how you'd say it on video. I love it. Thank you. :-)
Have y'all ever thought about having a big outdoor smoker just in case something were to happen you could smoke your meat. Or getting a freeze dryer. If grid goes down it could be for a long time. We are in for some bad times
Your two older boys remind me SO MUCH of me and brother always helping my dad around the yard when he wasn’t at work. At 27 years old it is hard to decide…work a normal job I have now selling insurance and maybe make a little bit more money but sacrifice some happiness, time with my future family. Seems like a big sacrifice for a CHANCE at some money. At the same time, I absolutely loved my suburban kid life my father provided for me. Do whatever ya want, ride your bike to any store around, play with all the kids in the neighborhood. But I also see that that childhood of mine is gone…there’s more kids in my neighborhood now than there ever was when I was a kid but what do you see at the two parks and one school playground all within a mile from my house? Emptiness. No kids playing football, no kids on the swings or playground. All online stuff and intramural sports at THE MOST…it’s just so sad to see. I remember doing two intramural sports, a school sport a school club and worked a job all by 15. I think that moving into the country may be better these days. In highschool I would have never dreamed of becoming a farmer but sometimes now I feel like it is the only right option for me. I pray that I find the strength to be able to transition into this lifestyle. I am not far off from it now, but cutting that corporate paycheck every week off? Gonna be scary. Y’all are in my prayers for continued happiness healthiness and prosperity. Amen.
Dear Justin and Rebekah with all your kids, I just got your book « the rooter Life« , ordered in November 2021🤩🎉👏 can’t wait to dig in. You can be really proud of it🍀🇺🇸❤️. Thank you so much for all your teaching around the world. A very big hug from Brussels /Belgium/ Europe…take care in this crazy times 🙏
There are a few signs of an oncoming birth within the last 24 to 48 hours you will notice the bag will get larger the pig will become Restless she will lie down get up lie down get up and she may even become destructive from my experience in breeding pigs hay is not the best option for her to build a nest the nest building part usually comes 24 hours before birth I have found that it is better to use straw because the piglets will try to hide in it when you use Hay it intertwines together it makes it very hard for them to get back out with straw they can get back out I have lost a few piglets because of it and I found it is a lessons learnt hopefully having the other pig in there is not going to cause a problem when you see them chew the hay without actually eating it that is also another sign I have three saddlebacks due on the 9th of April so let the fun times begin for both of us
Hi..... Justin Rhodes and your children to nice to see you all love watching your videos, thank you for showing your video homestead chickens duck goose farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐣🐥🐕🐈🐑🐄🐖🐇🌱🌺🌹🌿🌻🌼🌸🍀🌷🏡🎥👍👍👍
Are you going to block off all the places the piglets can get out threw? There is so many gaps in the fencing. Theres no escape for the piglets from the mom either.
I worry Henry is going to be hurt one of these days. While it’s endearing taking your baby to work, Justin can fall, a cow can charge him, debris can get into babies eyes, etc.
Oh I remember when my Bonnie girl delivered her babies. I have a video on my channel about it. It’s born in the disaster zone. Where I wanted to put her she just refused to go. Then she went into labor I couldn’t move her. She had 12 babies. Only six survive. Devastation all around but six of them were able to go to new homesteads and ice cost still have my Junior Petunia he was the the no wanted him so I kept him he’s doing an excellent job and now he’s looking for a girlfriend and maybe even a new Homestead to go to he’s an awesome land clearer he’s a Yorkshire White corporate pig check him out on my channel.
I hope the Rhodes Bros, or perhaps Lilly (because as her temperment might be better suited for it) considers creating a new channel based on daily videos of the kids doing the daily chores. Maybe I am an outlier, but I really enjoy watching the kids deal with the animals, and interacting with one another. I greatly prefer that over the more entrepreneurial side of a whole homestead business (with all due respect to this channel). I would have LOVED to have seen more depth about Lilly and her rescue lambs, her trials with her rabbits, and whatever the boys do. The past year or so the amount of time spent on that stuff has been shrunk down to the point now where we are at 15-30 seconds per video 😞 I really think its a huge opportunity for the Rhodes kids: Josiah on camera, Lilly hosting, Jonah editing, Mr. Brown as key grip/ production manager/ gaffer / associate producer/ assistant director/ on-screen co-host. Imagine getting even just 10% of this channel's subscribers to do the same with the kids channel! Here's hoping y'all don't leave that opportunity on the table. *crosses fingers*.
Ur joking right?! Do you think they weren’t scratching themselves on the fence post and gates before the mineral feeder was added… You clearly haven’t been around hogs before
Does seeing that toddler on daddy’s back bother anyone? He doesn’t look like he is enjoying it or comfortable. I don’t know but I would appreciate being informed. Thanks.
"That toddler" just turned one. He's really used to his birdseye view. Justin's been carrying him that way (in the sling), or at Justin's heart, since early on. It's awesome that Justin spends so much time with his children close to him!
Yes, it certainly does worry me. All kinds of things can happen to Justin working with big animals that can be a detriment to Henry. While it’s “awesome” to carry Henry around, some jobs are inherently dangerous for small children.
@@IWantToKnow2 still better than getting kicked everytime or having the kids getting kicked or maybe you wouldn't lose milk as often. Also if you were to have to treat mastitis in a teet if a kicking cow..... I believe it may be worth it if at all possible to acquire. Happy milking!
@@gailharris8527 Very true! “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” I worry the children are going to get kicked one of these days and get hurt.
We are switching our animals to the buffet style minerals with the next feed delivery. I was hoping to use it for the pigs as well. Is there a reason you don’t do the buffet for the pigs?
I have two pregnant (I think) and was wondering if I needed to remove the second or let them both have them in the same pen. I will be removing my males though.
Hey Justin, I absolutely adore your family and passion for homesteading! I want to homestead so bad. I am so tired of the rat race and the big city. I am 48 a very fit and healthy. I have some savings and own a digital marketing job and a resell business though ebay and amazon. So I can work from anywhere. However, I do not own any property or home. I currently rent a room from a friend to keep cost low. So with all that being said, what advice would you give someone in my position and with my passion on getting of the grid and homesteading full time? Thank you kindly for any advice and thoughts. Sincerely, Chad Rowe
your work flow seems very confused. Have you ever thought about using a tasks board with all the daily tasks to be accomplished so everyone know as soon as they get up what they need to accomplish and can just hop to it . I think your kids have shown they have the motivation to get things done and it seems to me that if you off loaded some of the daily tasks to a board things might seem a bit less chaotic every morning. one side of the board can show all the tasks that have to be done every day and another part can show the 1 offs that are bound to pop up.
Oh that cow running around with the bucket on its head made me full on belly laugh! And you caught it on video! Hahaha I have some lyme research I should show you. My LLND showed me recent research on various prescription drugs and herbs and how effective they were on borrelia in blood. They have pictures showing how much doxy killed, cats claw, and a couple dozen other commonly used treatments. Cryptolepis was the best. Also Sida Acuta helps according to my dr. I'm trying CSA and Cryptolepis rn.

It was amazing though to see you do it with a baby on your back. My hat is off to you. God bless you and your family. The alfalfa bucket was the bomb.
I have to commend your kids, or you for teaching them that it takes all to run a farm. They are special.
Build a barrier in one of the corners so the piglets can go under and get away from the mother crushing them. Also in this corner put a heat lamp (be careful of potential fire) hanging so the piglets are warm and they will gravitate there when not suckling on mom. And get the other pig out of there as it can harm the piglets.
That’s what Pete at A Few Acres Farm does.
You're a great father. 🙏🏿❤️
Amazing you caught the bucketed calf on camera. Awesome. 🐂❤️🌱 Happy piglets! 🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖
Seeing your kids help you out and take on more responsibility warms my heart. You both are raising some fine young men!
🌻And young woman!

Hahahahahaha…that bucket, glad you all got it taken care of so quickly, your boys did good 👍

I know that bucket mishap was bad, but it sure was funny!🤪
Hey Justin can’t wait to see the new piglets! ✅✅✅👍👍👍💯💯💯
I think the fencing need to be better for the piglets.
May want to put Chicken Wire or something between Momma pen and Boar so piglets don't get in his pen. He will kill them. Peace from WV
Wouldn't 2 gilts in a pen make it more like that there are more smushed babies, though? I've never done this.
Yes you would be correct. Also you run the risk of the other gilt/sow killing the piglets, doesn’t always happen but it could. Most will separate farrowing pigs from others.
The one time I misjudged due date, the babies were killed. My sows were great moms usually, but they need their own space for the moment. 😕
Hey Justin , We would like to see you give Lucky to Jason and his family at Sow the Land to help the" YES MAN" with their new farm
Quite entertaining blog today with the bucket on the calf and the butt scratcher lol.
Justin sure seems like a wonderful Dad.
Omg laughing so hard .
Thank you for showing the real stuff that happens sometimes.
You have some great help those boys are on it great job boys .
Sure is good you got the kids involved ❤️
Piglets can get lost or trapped in hay or straw- best thing is a corner fenced off just for them, with a heat mat.
Can't wait to see her babies!!!
you have to be careful sometimes another sow will eat the piglets as they are being born not all the time but ihave seen it done
Oh my goshhh,,,somebody else knows about this😲😲😲yes, that happened to me more than once with hamsters when I was little!!!😪
How are you making sure the babies won't go to the fence on the boar side??? They can kill the babies, even eat them....
You know. The cow getting the bucket stuck on his head that made me laugh and honestly I would have just laughed my butt off in that situation. Watching you and your kids handle that and you doing it with little Henry on your back it was something I couldn't have done it would take me time to learn to react quickly and worry about laughing about it afterwards.

Also need to put something to stop babies from getting into the boar through the fence. 🙂

Are you going to block off all the places the piglets can get out threw? There is so many gaps in the fencing. Theres no escape for the piglets from the mom either.
Don't you need to separate the sow from the boar before the birth ?
🐷🐷🐷🐷 Can’t wait for the piglets!! 😃
How exciting 😀 piggies 🐷
Is it a good ides to be changing cows with Henry bouncing on your back.
I worry Henry is going to be hurt one of these days. While it’s endearing taking your baby to work, Justin can fall, a cow can charge him, debris can get into babies eyes, etc.
Are you not afraid the babies will get squashed by momma or the gilt?
NOT Expert! But do you think you should put something to prevent piglets from going into daddy’s pen or escape. Looks like the gaps are a little big.
Dang!
Oh we get to see babies soon!
What's life without a little chaos right?
Make sure there is a place where the babies can get under and away from mama so she doesn't lie down on them.....common.

You may want to place something permanently in their pen so they can always scratch themselves. How would you feel if you could not reach an itch?

Everyone hit 👍👍👍👍👍
Question about the minerals, don't they need those while they are pregnant and not just after giving birth?
So how do you keep the baby piglets from going into the big male pen??
your work flow seems very confused.

one side of the board can show all the tasks that have to be done every day and another part can show the 1 offs that are bound to pop up.
I know that you research a lot. But I also know and have seen pigs eat other piglet and lambs. You might rethink
Careful I've seen alot of adult pigs eat babies as they are having them if they are just a pen mate and no the mom
Wow 🐷 🐖
Will the pigs eat those chickens that keep jumping into their pen?
Have the rabbit had her babies yet
Can the piglets escape?
This sure was a looooonnnnggg video
Our pig is great with child... lol
Oh that cow running around with the bucket on its head made me full on belly laugh! And you caught it on video! Hahaha
