The Ultimate Guide to Raising Pigs on a Homestead

Dude, this video was super helpful! Thanks for taking the time to make it!

Thanks for doing the right thing by Lightning. You did your best 🙏❤️

We raise registered Red Wattle hogs in Ohio. They are on pasture with Red Brand goat and sheep fence stretched tight. No hot wire. They grow almost as fast as confinement hogs, they graze like crazy, they are the most docile that I have ever been around. Even my 600 pound boar is like a pet dog, they all just love attention and just supper friendly. Hogs can eat even black walnut husks and not get sick. The only animal that can. Their meat I think is the best of any hog breed. Going registered you can sell breeding stock, feeder pigs, or feed out the piglets. I feel you should, I castrate and notch ears at 3 to 10 days.

Good tips. Thnx.

A wagon wheel config on pasture is effective and requires a half acre

As an now experienced chick killer, i understand the emotion of not doing great with baby livestock....

appreciate you sharing the good and the bad, it's hard when things happen to our animals that we truly care about their welfare and want the best life we can give them. We are into our first year with ipps and love them. Such an exceptional breed

Way to say good bad and ugly. It’s all part show. Keep going .

Love our porta-huts . They are great in the winter. We just fill them with lots of hay/straw.

John 17:22-23
King James Version
22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:

23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. Gods blessings over you .!!

You can castrate at 1 day old

So sorry to learn about Ollie's pig.😢 Ollie is so much like my grandson, Wesley, with a tender heart. I hope that he is feeling better by now.
