Are We Ready For The ARCTIC BLAST | 2024 Texas
What is the YT channel name of the guy you learned from?
He does not have a UA-cam channel. It was a local friend of ours from a Facebook group.
Lots of excellent information here! I have a few Katahdins in the mid-Atlantic region on Maryland's eastern shore. I struggled with parasites in the beginning due to our humid climate (I've spent a summer around Austin, our summer weather here is similar to there but about 10 degrees cooler). I took a FAMACHA class at the University of Delaware and learned SO MUCH about parasites and parasite management - I highly recommend that anyone with sheep take a FAMACHA class, it is very much worth the time. One of the most crucial things I learned was that parasite eggs hatch on day three, so I started rotating my sheep every 2-3 days through smaller paddocks with my chickens following right behind them. The shorter rotation has made a huge difference in the health of my sheep. I have also planted chicory for the tannins. I don't know how much difference that has made for parasites but the sheep love it, and since we get mild winters here it stays green and lush pretty much year-round.
We just got approved with cross fencing by the NRCS and plan on making smaller paddocks for our sheep and overseeding our pasture. I plan to overseeding our pasture with chicory as well

Hey Farmer Sidney congratulations on winning the watermelon war sub from Broke Farmers live.❤❤❤
Thank you. Nice chatting with yall that other night.
eggciting
🤣😭
Enjoy your time at the AAPPA conference. Some day I can imagine that you will be able to be one of their speakers.
Thanks Dwight. Not sure if i could ever do that lol
@@7FarmerSidney7 Sure you can. You have something you are doing which others want to do. Specifically, you are developing a strain of American Bress and making it profitable. That will be a teachable skill when you have a strain that is demonstrably superior.

You said you got approved for the fencing and water line. Could you talk a bit more about that program and process?
...and overseeding. Yes, we will talk about it on a few upcoming videos and maybe Facebook/Instagram
Good plan to be a good neighbor
Can't have the animals messing up other peoples property. Eating up all their garden and things.
Sugar foot 😂 them ants!
Haha had me paranoid the whole time 😆
I would not free range pigs but the ones I've kept in pens are easier to control. They're actually quite intelligent as long as you don't overcrowd them( same as humans). Pigs will actually use one corner of the pen to deficate and pee and the opposite corner to eat and sleep. I have a shelter for sleeping and I don't overcrowd my individual pens.
@@musicgroopie1 We don't free range, we pasture raise. What breed do you raise?
Wow, that is going to make a big difference. You must have marked a dozen to fifteen trees. You just said 14 trees. Way to be a thoughtful neighbor.
Yes, sir. Some of the trees were on our property, but since the property is vacant, it will plant more trees if the property owner says something.

Hi Farmer sydney. Great video. Can you share a link to the pig class?
This was a in person class that we took. We learned about it through a East TX Homestead Co-Op Facebook group
were ever your gate opening is, make the gate made out of wood because they know they can rub against it. I use wooden gates now for 2yrs and it works great. I learn by watching a Joel salatin video. Its under Justin Rhodes videos and its called Joel Salatin teaches pasture pigs. I learn a lot of how to raise pasture pigs
Yes, i have watched that video countless times. I actually designed our paddock to be that way once we get our cross fences up. What breed of pigs do you raise, and how many do you raise per year?
2 hogs 3 wire electric. I turned it off for some maintenance. It was of for a month before I realized. Never got out.
Off
Haha they really are a habit of natural. More physiological than a physical barrier. What type of hog were you raising?
@@7FarmerSidney7 Down to 2 Mangalitsa
I really like your sharing, the farm is wonderful, can I visit if I have a chance?
Appreciate the kind words. Sure when would did you have in mind?
You guys are doing a great job, keep doing it please, so good video, very informative about raising pigs, you should have thousands of views.
Thank you! Will do!
The Mrs. needs a microphone. :)
Haha she does not know how to use her country voice yet. It's only been four years now, lol
4:32 Yep, they'll learn quick. lol
It only took that one about a week or less to learn lol
Do you raise any pigs?
@@7FarmerSidney7 I don't but could tell from your video. We did raise one in a very tiny, confined pen (all I had)
Butcher Benny Tee on UA-cam. He’s a pro at butchering and has some great vids (for sheep) I understand having a hands on instruction though for sure. We ended up just doing it. I feel pigs are a little more tedious (especially if you skin. Main thing is taking your time and having everything set up. I really like learning from Billy at Permapasture farms as well. Really like seeing you process and journey! Keep up the good work!
Yes I like to be hands on learn how instead of watching on UA-cam university when it comes to things like that. So i know what i am hitting or feeling for. I watch Billy aka PIMP lol. Apprecthe kind words.
Wow great video and very informative. I’m looking to raise a few pigs for meat for my family early next year. Thanks for sharing.👍🏾
Do you know what kind of pigs? How many? Rotational grazing?
@@7FarmerSidney7 I’m looking seriously at the Red Wattle. Also like the Hampshire. They will be raised in my silvopasture. I’m only looking to start with two or four.
I was looking at Red Wattle x Tamworth, but the breeder i was trying to get them from did have them bred in time, so we went these three different breeds.
Each thing we raise is an opportunity to learned new skills. Congratulations! You look like you will do well with these new skills.
Thanks Dwight. Yes it is. Two more months today, and they will be in freezer camp

Meishan is a good breed
Never heard of that breed. What makes them a good breed? Temperament? Fat content? Pasture management? Meat Quality?
@@7FarmerSidney7 temperament, p m don’t root, meat. Chinese like them
Great guide!
Thanks. I love the name.
Chicken so big and eggs
Yes they are
I agree that hand feeding pigs has huge benefits when managing them. I also soak the feed and recommend it for food efficiency. I love pigs. Raising Hampshire cross pigs.
Most definitely. Plus, make sure you have more eyes on and interact with them. How long have you been raising pigs and do you pasture raise pigs?
@@7FarmerSidney7 first year just farrowed 27. On pasture no shelter other than trees mild coastal climate. ❤️ 🐽
What chest mount do you have? I have a Stuntman chest mount that I've had for about 2 years, but it's bulkier than yours.
It was a cheap kit I picked up from Wal-Mart
Great video brotha, Love what you're doing! Thank you for this video. I'm trying to implement this with my pigs!
Appreciate the feedback. How many pigs are you raising? How long have you been raising pigs?

Hi Sidney, thank you for making this video and sharing your journey. Best wishes and God bless.
You're welcome. Do you currently raise sheep?
Can you make a video on the electric fence u have for your pigs please. You have an awesome set up!
Yes I actually had one ready but lost some footage and have to redo it. We have a short video about it coming out today be on the look out. Will have more in depth in another video
I use a 50m measuring tape or a roll of surveyors string cut to length, to mark out where the new fences will go before mowing. No need to double handle the new fences 😉 A Beautiful farm you guys have there!
Great tip! I am not sure I fully understand it but willing to give it a try.
that's a great recap of your journey! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! Glad yall stop by
I'm getting started finally and really appreciate this video :)
Awesome on getting started. What got you started on this journey? Location? How many acres?
I believe my personal favorite of you animals is your American Bresse. Thank you for the farm overview. I enjoyed it today.
You and the Mrs love the American Bresse chicken. I'm with the rabbits and the lamb. Those are my spirit aniamls, lol Well i hope not they are prey animals lol 😆
@@7FarmerSidney7 I guess you can argue that chickens are predators of insects.
See how we raise pigs on pasture: ua-cam.com/video/SsyK_M4GVMg/v-deo.htmlsi=jbiDRqzgM1YIfW2u
Geese are delicious, easy, and can live 100% on forage/free range. Why get rid of 'em?
We haven't gotten rid of them. The ones I enjoy the most out of all the poultry.
That was a nice use of your evening light. I looked nice.
Are you talking about the thumbnail or on the video? Well, both was by accident.
@@7FarmerSidney7 I was talking about the video
@@dwighthires3163 Ahhh that was by accident or by luck. time of day when I got off from work and home when taking care of the animals. Thanks for the feedback.
We raise pure bred American black belly’s in northern Alberta Canada very hardy breed. Great with extremely cold winters ..
Interesting. What are they raised for? Meat? Lard? Or both? How long have you been raising them?
Regardless of your disclaimer, all I heard was "You are a Poop Scientist" 😂
Haha 😄 I'll take that 🤣

I do not have sheep myself but have been researching in the of chance I can ever get my acct together enough to live my dream. Around here mid Atlantic, PA between Philly and Allentown. Everyone has Kahtadins. Zone 6-7 really need to search to find anything other than Kahtadins. They're also pretty good milkers from what I've read. Parasites I've heard that nemotoads can't stand brassicas and have heard that if you put a cover crop of spicy brown mustard on a garden every few years then till plow it under when it's ripe it'll keep parasites down. Granted you wouldn't want to do that to an entire pasture but if you were to grow say 3-500 ft² and make yourself like a gallon or two of mustard then just make a tea out of the remaining seeds and spray it on your high traffic areas before a storm or rain rolls in it'll get down into the ground and get rid of the worms. Also they like to sleep on high ground which you could muck into a bucket to keep that area more clear or just spread it out. Also the parasites their eggs all of that can't take sunlight but they live down low on the forage, so while you don't want them grazing all the way to the ground in the long run it's important to manage your rotation to get it low enough so the sunlight kills off the pole worm. Then move them to greener pastures.
Sorry for the delay response. We do plan on reseeding the pasture with some clover and some seeds that have tannins like trefoil, chicory, lespedeza and sorghum. This should help against the parasite load. Plus we are going to have multispecies animals grazing to help decrease this. This will be less work since it is just us two and working off farm jobs.
Oh no sweat. I've also heard that you shouldn't keep em in one area too long trying to force the issue of there's still some forage, odds are it's something they don't want and could encourage fence jumping. There's another channel with a younger man named PJ that moves them then mows behind them. It'll knock down all the shade possibly keep them stuff they don't want anyway from going to seed in the first place and grinds up the excrement and exposes it to sunlight. While it's a whole other step to add. If you're using something like a B or Bx series Kubota it's also a ride and can carry your buckets of either feed and water, or your seed to reseed or your tools to maintain your fences.
Which minerals do you see them hitting more often in this area?
They Tear up that kelp. But the way my bank account is set up I can't keep letting in on that kelp lol. They hit up the baking soda and Selenium 90. Which I figure our soil was lacking that mineral along with boron and other mineral I need to get later on
@@7FarmerSidney7 I haven't given any minerals for my St. Croix yet. So far they are healthy but I'm sure they'd love the option.
Sheep in Texas... I'm right here with you
Yes right here in North Texas.
I know exactly how you feel. We lost 42 out of 45 meat chickens because of hurricane Beryl.
Oh no! Sorry to hear that. Im going to start another batch in 21 days alongside the American Bresse
Sidney, you did a good job on this butchering video. That sounds like good genetics to save. If the rooster gets picked on, it sounds like he is not an aggressive rooster. Aggression in a rooster has been my biggest issue. How may weeks did you give to these birds? I believe you said they were 2.5 to 3 pounds. Was I correct?
Yes we try to breed out all aggressive behavior from our chickens. Every two years we check the chickens attitude and behavior towards us and other chickens. We raised them for 16 weeks and they avg was 3.52lbs with a range from 2.80lbs to 3.94lbs after looking at the tracking.
@@7FarmerSidney7 Thank you for such a complete answer to my questions. I know you two are very busy.
@@dwighthires3163 Anytime for our viewers
@@7FarmerSidney7 Thank you.
Our local butcher won’t process chickens. Wish they could.
It is getting harder and harder to find processir that will not only do cattle, pork, and wild game.
@@7FarmerSidney7 Yep, that's exactly the only things they will butcher. Wild game IE: only deer and wild hog.
