Love this! I'm raising pigs for the first time this year and I really enjoy them. They're far less work than chickens, though we're getting good success with your methods there, too.
The old guy I buy my piglets from hand milks a couple of jerseys every morning and mixes it with the feed. Guess they love it and it gets them growing. I have built some of your chicken tractors. It is a great design. I appreciate all the info. Thanks
Cow's milk is dangerous to humans and maybe pigs butthen they won't live long anyway. Cow's milk contains xanthine oxidase which helps a calf digest milk but also digests human arteries.
I am currently working at a Pig farm here in Seychelles...and I had a lot of experience from them.oh God they love digging and playing..love them much!! I want to work in US based pig farm please!!
"I say goodby to the cartalage in my shoulder " haha i know what you mean thanks so much for your videos god willing il have my piglets one day ! farming is the best and I love your videos so helpfull well done
Dad always insisted we add water to the pig's feed. We never questioned why. But he grew, with our labor, some of the best and sought after ham and bacon in the area.
True. I raised a batch of pigs for a friend, they were fed mash and housed in an old barn on straw bedding. The slaughterhouse told him the back fat results were better than pigs raised in confinement. If only consumers had any clue what they eat, instead of shopping strictly by price.
Pigs are cool, it’s better to have a couple of them around than not having them around. Animals in general are nice to have around even the scary predatory ones, they bring a natural balance to the earth that benefits the land itself
Im picking up 3 piggies from Pa and they are going to Tucson Az where Im moving too. Pigs are twice the price in Az. Wish me luck, 5 boxers and 3 pigs in a Prius. Lol
Sorry if someone has already mentioned this...but you mentioned in the previous video that you would enlighten us on your lime application solution in your hop yard. Is this somewhere else that I missed?
John, love it! Out of curiosity, how many solar panels do you have? Did you do it yourself? A little over a year ago I had 45 panels installed. We don't have batteries yet. I will do this in the near future.
I think your watering system needs major rework. Carrying water sucks and hurts the body. Like your piglet feeder. And really agree about letting the pigs know who is boss.
Richard Bohling Sr I'd be running an extra pipe across, and either straight into their waterer, or at least filling their bucket from a hose attached to it. That system does limit wastage if anything gets broken, and still all you have to do is turn the tap on and off.
Teal Kerberus 50 gallon food grade plastic drum works best but yes run a new line seeing he raises them every year as buisness. Also a lot of people are fermenting thier feed which cuts down on feed cost. Just my 2 cents.
Have you ever had worm problems? We've been raising pigs the same way for years and this year we lost 2 piglets from what we assume was worms. We purchased from 2 farms and introduced them together which apparently was a mistake. All of the pigs from one farm got very sick and 2 died. We have wormed everyone again but I'm scared to bring in more piglets (which we need to do to replace the losses). We're likely going to move the starter pen entirely, but I'm looking for any other recommendations? I don't want to relive our last week!
You said they have automatic watered system carrying that water ? ,is there not a water line in ground next to the pigs if not I would say put one in and save the back!
My uncle told me it was standard for farmers to carry 220 lbs wheat bags on their back up in the loft. He is over 80 and just told me he does not know what back pain is. Respect!
i always mix there feed with warm water to the point it some what watery and runs out of the pails, i let it sit over night, ( just dont fill the pails to full as the feed grows, from day one till kill day, the feed grows and goes farther and they love it, never any dusty feed up there nose, i use a big steel beater, like you would use to mix up plaster on my big right angal 5/8" drill, i find it saves about 30% feed, what is wrong with you guys, you must love carring water, there is not a place on my farm that dont have running water, and hooked to auto waters, weather it is out in the bush, feild, barns, well barns have year round running water every were even at -40..
So did I . I was in Manitoba, it was winter so I used warm water and that's all they got in the day, it was plenty. The feed was coated with canola oil so not too dusty, but they much prefer mash.
New subscriber here. Do you use regular tap water which in most localities contains fluoride? Fluoride has been known to be a poison since 1893. It destroys enzymes which is not good for us. Human health depends on 5,000 plus named enzymes in the human body plus ten thousand or more un-named enzymes. I saw an ad for Boogie Blues which takes out fluoride and other impurities from a garden hose (provided you don't blast the water out too fast for it to work properly.) Bye.
My pigs are definitely the easiest animal on our farm. We have pigs, bottle calves, chickens and rabbits. I have a gravity feeder that holds about 400 lbs and a 200 gallon waterer for the pigs. It's as easy as shaking the feeder and checking the water level.
No, not at all. In fact, that’s why I got into raising my own animals. Now I know they they live healthy and calm lives. There is only one bad day for animals on the farm, and they never know it’s coming. Healthier animals, healthier people, healthier planet.
Bro I can’t wait to buy your books and support you. I’m a veteran starting to farm at 32 thanks for the positive support.
Love this! I'm raising pigs for the first time this year and I really enjoy them. They're far less work than chickens, though we're getting good success with your methods there, too.
Wow thank you for taking such good care of your pigs and other animals. I wish everybody else did too.

New very nice set up be watching to do this in the spring helping around the homestead.
Enjoy!
Love how you point out the little things that could go unnoticed... like the fact that you got that drone to follow you without another operator.
The pig sneezing was awesome!! Loved the whole video
Hahahaha you were right I got to see a pig sneeze in slow motion at the end. That’s pretty cool how you did that with the drone.
I am currently working at a Pig farm here in Seychelles...and I had a lot of experience from them.oh God they love digging and playing..love them much!!
I want to work in US based pig farm please!!

Thank u watching from Zambia
Wooooo, that pig sneezing looked like me🙂. Full-watch
Hey John ..
Could you show us what food you give them.
You are awesome. Videos like this was the reason why I started following you. No homo.
Those do look like happy pigs no doubt about it.
That's one heck of a solar array. How many panels? and are you totally off grid?
Pigs are cool, it’s better to have a couple of them around than not having them around. Animals in general are nice to have around even the scary predatory ones, they bring a natural balance to the earth that benefits the land itself
Hello sir
I watch your effort from Cameroon and I like it
Don't know if u will need and extra helping hand
Im picking up 3 piggies from Pa and they are going to Tucson Az where Im moving too. Pigs are twice the price in Az. Wish me luck, 5 boxers and 3 pigs in a Prius. Lol
love you channel very informative
Great as usual! Thanks John!
Hi. Amazing video! Do you cut off the piglet teeth? Thanks.
Sorry if someone has already mentioned this...but you mentioned in the previous video that you would enlighten us on your lime application solution in your hop yard. Is this somewhere else that I missed?
Love those piggies. Thanks John.
Nice operation, I must say!!
What pig feed do you use?
So are you feeeding them dehydrated peach syrup
John, love it! Out of curiosity, how many solar panels do you have? Did you do it yourself? A little over a year ago I had 45 panels installed. We don't have batteries yet. I will do this in the near future.
How do you clean up there place?
We love the pigs!
Watching your pig videos makes me wish I could raise a pig
These pigs look attractive in fact the serct use to in raring them, its the best really

Glad to have you along for the ride.

How many months are your pigs?
You are great, sir!
You said they have automatic watered system carrying that water ? ,is there not a water line in ground next to the pigs if not I would say put one in and save the back!
Your poor shoulders but that statement made me laugh out loud💜
My uncle told me it was standard for farmers to carry 220 lbs wheat bags on their back up in the loft. He is over 80 and just told me he does not know what back pain is. Respect!
what vaccine you give to your piglet?
i always mix there feed with warm water to the point it some what watery and runs out of the pails, i let it sit over night, ( just dont fill the pails to full as the feed grows, from day one till kill day, the feed grows and goes farther and they love it, never any dusty feed up there nose, i use a big steel beater, like you would use to mix up plaster on my big right angal 5/8" drill, i find it saves about 30% feed, what is wrong with you guys, you must love carring water, there is not a place on my farm that dont have running water, and hooked to auto waters, weather it is out in the bush, feild, barns, well barns have year round running water every were even at -40..

You shold harvest the rain water from the sollarpanels and use that water to automaticallly feed the pigs.
So is it a mhyth that pigs eat "slop"
Why not soak the feed?

You make that look so simple, I think I'm going to go get me a dozen piglets! NOT! Thanks for sharing!

that would work even better if they were on top of massive amounts of woodchips you were aging.
Yes they sure love to root.
happy cute pigs

This is cruel.
Vivek Acharya .U should watch puppy videos and leave farming to farmer's!
Do you not feel guilty eating these adorable animals?
No, not at all. In fact, that’s why I got into raising my own animals. Now I know they they live healthy and calm lives. There is only one bad day for animals on the farm, and they never know it’s coming. Healthier animals, healthier people, healthier planet.
