Tip For Buying Your First Homestead Pigs

Good info!

Good info as always Jack. Appreciate you doing all the research for us 😊 My wife chimed in from the other room ‘is that Tom hanks talking?’ 😂

What is a good average price for a piglet for feeding out looking for 2? Thankyou

Enjoyed that. Got a smallholding in the UK, including a Berkshire family. I hear what you say about socialising. Spot on. Sit on a stool with the mother, scratching her back regularly. Means the piglets are not afraid of me, chew my boots,(!) happy to be stroked so I can notice any lumps and bumps before they become an issue. Take care and a Happy New Year to you all.

Thanks for the info Jack!

Have you asked the farmer if he has recommendations for a new breeder?

We finished our first year with raising feeders, Tamworths. Were hard to find around me, ended up having to drive 2 hours to get them, one breeder was selling them for $85 and another wanted $200. Best pork chops I’ve ever had from my pigs.

This was the exact video I needed right now! 🤘 awesome info!

Thanks, Jack, I didn't know some of those things. I can't do pigs this year, maybe never, but its still on my radar and this is useful information. I'm curious, with your trusted pig guy retiring, are you considering buying breeding stock yourself? The number of pigs you raise each year, seems like that might be the easier way to be sure you have reliably good stock. Of course, that would mean feeding and housing your breeding stock year round.

Thanks for the advice, was just checking out prices locally for some hoglets

Wonder if it's possible to have pet mini pig like we do and still be able to eat Their babies I'm having a hard time coming to terms with it but I love bacon and pork chops

Hello Emma’s Papa as my Grandbabies call you, LOL
We enjoy watching your videos. We live in the suburbs so we cant have pigs, but that doesn’t mean we can’t learn more about animals especially ones we eat as meat. When the grandbabies and I watch your videos, I like how you explain different information.
Many of the points you made are good for other animals also.
Good video topic. Another You Tubber I watch brought up some interesting questions and I thought I’d share the link as between the two of you it would help others
Happy New Years

Great info thx for sharing

Love it. I got pigs on the wing. And on the brain for the forest.

Hey as a fellow New Hampshirite I would love to hear where you end up finding your new stock!

greatly appreciate the educational vids. newbie here thinking about raising a few chickens, a pig or two and a beef.

Maybe YOU can be that “reliable breeder”! You have such a heart for your livestock ❤. Great video!!

This is priceless info, sir! Thanks so much for sharing it so freely.

Take care and God Bless.

Hey, just wanted you to know that I appreciate your channel. You do things differently than I, and have some different ideas, but still you're inspiring to the homestead community.

Do you finish your pigs?
If so how long do you finish before you have them processed?

I ENJOY YOUR VIDEO'S YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY ALWAYS TAKE CARE OF YOUR BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER GOD BLESS

Very helpful, thank you! 👏

Thanks for the content 🙏 brother

Thanks for the great information man! I learned tons from this, definitely gon have to watch more of your videos!

Great information. We are on three lists for piglets this spring/summer, first time raising them. So this is timely info going into this process.

Hi love your videos I'm your viewers from Cebu Philippines...God bless...

Thank you so much very informative my brother and I are going to be getting feeder pigs March 2023 thank you so much love Mama Z

That was a very informative, great video! Thank you!

This was very helpful to me. I’m planning on starting with two pigs in the spring and I’ve been working on clearing a 125‘ x 125‘ area for them in the woods. Next comes the fencing and everything else and lastly, the two pigs. Good checklist of what to look for in a healthy feeder pig. Thank you.

What's average price for feeder piglets

Thank you!

Thank you

Thanks for the great tips.

Thank you

Love the tips!

I have a question…. I want feeder pigs and I want to breed two females. Then once there babies grow up I want to swap them out with two female babies and the process the mommas and start that cycle. Thoughts on that?
