      I was looking for hog farming and thought about asking the Iowa dairy farmer if he knew any, but he's too big. I don't think he'd see my question. I'm glad I stumbled on these guys. we are a finish hog farm but I'm to afraid to post anything. I'd love to educate the world.

      We start a group out about 80 with zone heaters at about 88. The temp gradually ramps down to around 65 by the time they reach market weight. Obviously in the summer months the temp doesn’t get that low but that’s the target. Thanks for watching!

    In reality the pigs do all the work of making a pig farmer a really good living. They do all the growing and producing food for America and other countries. The farmer is there to be a good steward and take the best care of the pigs as possible. It's important to understand this reality.

      In farming there is no right or wrong way as long as the end result is good. Every animal is different gilts are harder to work with most of the time than sows.

    I just found you guys through an interview you did with Iowa Dairy Farmer. Yep, I followed Dan to you. I'm an electrical contractor in North Georgia (Excuse me...Nawth Gawga) and love to watch other people work for relaxation.
