This is the vlog of Serenity Farmstead. We are a family farm that started in 2018. We have poultry and pigs. We will be talking about how we do things, why we do it, past lessons learned, and future ideas/lessons we hope to try. We hope you will join us and learn too.
2019 Turkey Production Wrap Up
We discuss the good and bad things this year, give some insight into production numbers, and discuss some thoughts for the 2020 production runs of turkeys. We also have a quick snip it to our sow “Big Mama” taking a road trip to learn how sausage is made!

How do you keep the smell down ?
Can you feed these pigs a round bail of hay if you don't have enough grass
That is a great introductory video.
how do you train them to an electric fence?
In one or two years I hope to quit my job and farm my husband will keep his job just figuring out what is the best product for 13 acres
I only have a few more weeks until I get my farm I am impatiently waiting for the old man to move out 15 acres of land 13 is cleared completely has a 2 bedroom house barn is bigger then the house also has a shed and shop I'm going to have to get a couple fast growing shade trees not many on the property

New from small UA-camrs homestead nice to meet you.
do you have to worry about taint in the meat for year old boars that have not been castrated?

Yes I do know that was a shameless plug LOL Anyways… Until next time may God bless your days as He always does ours!
How do they lessen the impact of kunekune inbreeding? Besides culling and only picking the healthiest pigs to breed, are they at all hybridized?
How much did the fenceing cost you? I have a breeding pair of very young kunekunes coming soon and will be setting up a pasture for them
Beautiful little farm !!!! 😃....beautiful family...
They are so cute....the little baby ones.....darling...they do a good job...
Let's be UA-cam friends....I love my pet pig too...mine is a Juliana pig.....she is so smart.... I am going to subscribe....look at my beautiful pig...
Nice! And i think the pronunciation is Ku-neigh Ku-neigh. Happy farming👍🏾
Do you guys just let your boars run with the sows 24/7? How many litters of piglets do you guys get per year? Do your boars eat the piglets when they're born? Also, have you eaten any of them? If so, were they tasty compared to regular pork? Sorry for all the questions, I'm very interested in getting some but my bf is a hardcore farmer and says they have to have a purpose other than being cute lol.
Kunekune's are a heritage breed and many people use them for pork production. They have a very sweet taste and lots of people say they are the best tasting out of all the breeds. Where are you guys located? Check me out @halbertfarm I can answer questions too.
We do let the boars stay with them. We have not had boars eat the babies. We recently took over this herd so we have not had litters yet but it looks like we will be having them in the near future our sows are filling out. We have had a few processed and we like the meat. The chops were much smaller than my customers like so I won't be getting rid of our large blacks anytime soon. They made good sausage and roasts though as I have some customers that like smaller roasts.
Great content! Thanks for sharing
Just found you and looking forward to learning more about you and your operation. Keep up the great work and videos.
thanks 4 the info
Hi! Great video. I love my Kunekunes and I never thought of letting them clear my land! I've been doing it manually and making it all perfect before I move the pigs into a paddock 🤦♀️. How do you get water to them? Thats my only issue I haven't solved for
I'd just connect hoses together and run it to their pen, but i guess during the winter that would be an issue.
@@sveaallan5253 Thanks!
We have an ibc tote that we use that has plumbing to a hose and we get their water that way. We are currently working on a ram pump as well. The ram pump will take water from the creek down the field to the top field in our land. Sorry for the delay in response.
New subscriber here from Facebook! Love all the turkeys! That's s big pig!
She sure was a big pig. Thanks for subscribing!
Nice set up ! We do turkeys as well ! We do production white ...they are still with us , until next week...they are huge ...lol We just do them for us though . Turkeys can be jerks
We processed a large chunk of ours Friday and the rest are being processed tomorrow so they can rest before Thanksgiving. Our biggest one so far dressed out at 22lbs. It was a little easier than last year when they were bigger. I like the look of the white broadbreasted once processed but I loved the look of the mammoth bronze in the field. They looked like huge wild turkeys but their feathers left black spots of ink on the skin and I didn't like the way that looked. Turkeys can be jerks but they are also sweet. Ours get out and follow us around.
Livestock means chaos everyday here lol. Its just our norm now
It's a fast paced crazy time of year for sure . The time change is no fun . I slaughtered our pigs this past weekend ...turkeys are up next !
The best laid plans of a family always seem to be laughed at by livestock. Lol, but it didn't seem to be too bad of a return of them to the pen.
It may be sped up some lol.. It wasn't that bad just packed with stuff to do and of course it didn't all get done.
Very well trained and well loved pigs! God Bless y'all
They are pretty good. I have a video showing one got out this weekend. We try to brag on them and then they do that..LOL
Great looks chickens
They are so cute, and looks like a bit spoiled too.
Welcome!!! Looking forward to seeing more videos!
You live in beautiful country!
Thank you! Serenity comes from looking at those views and feeling that calm. You are in a beautiful place too.
Serenity Farmstead - thank you! We love our little piece of the Missouri Ozarks!
Welcome to the Homesteading family. Sounds like y'all got a lot going on already. I rang the bell. Can't wait to see what's next on your homestead.
Thank you!
Looking good, think I’m gonna try broilers next year for the first time...
You definitely should. They are easy to raise and don't take very long. We built our own equipment for processing too. We will do a walkthrough of our equipment in a couple of weeks when we process turkeys.
Serenity Farmstead can’t wait to seethebuilds!
