    I'm still using a wooden version of this shelter I built immediately after I saw your first video 2 years ago. I used thicker, treated lumber for the frame and it has held up very well. Very easy to move and quite sturdy. I like your new design too. I might have to try it next

  • @loissaedder2214
    @loissaedder2214 9 місяців тому +8

    That's going to bright and shiny out in the paddock. Maybe you need to get your thinking cap on to build a movable, but sturdy, scratching post for the pigs. I've seen some using scrubbing brushes screwed onto posts. All animals love to scratch.

    As you were building the pig shelter, I think building it right the first time, saves you time and money. You won't have to build it again because it broke.
    I also like the way you've named the black chickens "Bernice"!

    🇦🇺With your 1000 gallon water station, you need more of them around the farm. That way whatever animals can use the shelter plus they would have water. Or there would be a close water source for wherever you move animals.

I really enjoyed the sleigh ride, and I also thought that the runners could have been rounded off more, like they are today in the paddock. Congratulations on your new pigs, may they grow strong and healthy. Молодцы!

Also to know what you will grow to suppliment your pig feed expence. Pumpkins, squash, melons, etc. Let cucumbers, zucchini etc grow extra large.

    Remembering your first days with the first two pigs you got... You sure have gotten comfortable with pigs. Yes - trust no pig --- cause they are smart as all get out but they will respect you and be a friend if you treat them right. And they are quite enjoyable animals. They are fairly clean and can be controlled to a great degree. Big pig farms do get smelly but that is due to overpopulation...and lack of relocation regularly. You're doing great. Gonna ask about two things - salt licks (minerals) and something for scratching posts. The scratching is a big part of a pig's life. I never figured a good way to solve it except do it myself but that would be an all day affair...Pigs are so strong nothing lasts for long ... maybe a Y shaped thing with scrub brushes???
