Man! Joel sets my soul on fire!! He just gives off that aura of knowledge and excitement in the most chill kinda way.. I currently live in a brownstone.. With basically a 12x12 yard. If the HOA wouldn't kick me out I would 10,000 be rock in pigs next year.. 😂😂😂
WOW!! Joel got in line twice when the good Lord was handing out intelligence. As did you Justin.Very informative.Thank you for sharing. Be blessed and be safe. #GOTPIG 🍴🐷🍴
Fascinating! I can do this on a scaled down version. I am picking up 4 kunekune piglets thanks to your inspiration, and I have set aside a pasture area for them, that I will be seeding in a couple days. For now, they will share the barn through the worst part of our winter with the goats. Come April, we will start this rotation system. I'm so excited. Thank you Justin and Joe!
Justin, that was a wonderful presentation about Pig pasturing. I'm.sure that editing was quite a task with flash backs to reiterate what Joel had spoken of. Very good job Justin. Thanks for such a fine presentation.
Great vid and recap of your other tours with him....all except for the last few minutes when the piano music came on ungodly loud and I couldn't understand what y'all were saying - lol. Seriously though, good vid Justin, thanks!
A couple or so weeks ago Al at Lumnah Acres was moving his pigport when the door came open. The pigs were so trained to the fence that stayed in the turned area and he had no problem getting them back into pigport.
Such amazing stuff to learn. Wish we had known this when we were (small) farming (hmesteading) here in West Aust back in the '80's. We just let everyone roam wherever on the farm.........
I too have a great respect for electric cattle fences. Once when walking the woods next a cattle pasture I accidentally urinated on a HIGH voltage wire I didn't know was there behind a tree, believe me when I say that was something I never did again ! (we kept our fences Very hot because we had a bunch of Knuckle-headed cattle that would usually get out when the weather was at it's worst, late night arctic cold with blowing sleet and your phone rings with your neighbor telling you your cattle is on the road), P.S.- just try and get cattle back in the way they got out, truly a mission impossible.
very interesting how large scale operation works. Really see how you can small scale this and see what you did with the pigs clearing weeks ago. Going forward having pigs year round in this application seems really can help in land management. Great Job Justin!
Justin give big daddy a hug for all of us out here.... I know what is on your mind when your father gets sick and one sees what is happening to them the head gets cloudy and all
Thank you for sharing this! I hope within the next 1-2 years to begin my own off-grid homestead and pigs will certainly feature there, so I'm planning on purchasing the course as soon as my paycheck goes through. Your videos have been a huge inspiration and are a perfect mix of good info and expert guidance. Then again, anything seems possible with Uncle Justin at the helm. Thanks again, excellent content!
I loved the whole movie other than the music was waayyy too loud at the end. I'm sorry, I don't want to seem ungrateful for your gift but I couldn't hear what Joel was saying. 😢
First, my apologies for not taking up the paying option. Second, the pig feeder aspect seemed to escape my notice: was the feeder moved each time? And filled up? Moved by tractor? Yes pigs, when I housed them, dunged in just the lowest point of their pen. And yes! they are continuously curious and playful. Much like humans. But, in my view and based on the evidence we must a) care for them well, then b) eat them respectfully.
Love this. I have a perfect area that I had already wanted to make swales or berms in. Set up the fences right and they could do it for me over time. Smaller scale as in just a couple or few pigs bit then they could be timed out right.
We always talked about getting pigs again, my dad farmed 2000+ pigs at one time. If we did get pigs I would like to raise them similar to the way you do Justin. Do you have any tips for me to get started?
Hey Uncle Justin, thank you so much for sharing this wealth of information! What Joel (and you, in your video's ;) ) teaches is such common sense, so logical, it's almost embarrassing that we have to be taught... :D so many 'oh yeah, duhhh' moments. Makes us remember it for ever too ;) Thank you for being you! And thank you for your passion for pigs, permaculture and teaching it! I SO will get into pigs as soon as we have but the slightest chance of owning or leasing land :D Blessings to you Love from The Netherlands/Holland, Diana
I missed the last few minutes of what was said because the music overlay was SO LOUD. Why do people always add music at such a volume that it competes with what is supposedly the point of what is being presented. Maybe it's just me.
Very informative! You're actually starting to sell me on pigs--which are an animal I never thought I'd want to keep, ever--so pat yourself on the back, Mr. Rhodes. The music at the end was much too loud and drowned out Joel and made it even harder to make out what you were saying. I'd reduce the volume on it by at least 40% and up the audio from the end of your conversation with Joel by 10-20% and that should strike the right balance.
Besides this especially if you only had a few, pigs are fun and loving creatures. Always have at least 2 for company. Ours appreciated having old basketballs or toys of some sort to kick around and carry around if they were soft enough.
I was trying to think of a way to do that too. Every so often give them a water spot, maybe where you have some troubling weeds ect. Just be able to attach a hose and do it by hand when and where you needed it. Longer drip line maybe.
Thanks, Justin! Please come to my property and help us build that terrace you’d like to teach others to build, Joel! In the meantime, I’ll learn more about raising pigs! Justin can film it for clicks! Thanks I’m in central NC near VA border, so very doable! Win, win!
That was a great run down on raising pigs. You bet I took plenty of notes. Wish he would have talked about what kind of feed he is using though. Now seriously, what else are you talking about in your course? Lol.
1/2 acres paddock 50 pigs 2 tones feed per paddock 10 paddock rotation 5-12 days per paddock (until food runs out) 80 day minimum rest period Electric training wire with Spring to prevent breaking it. 10,000 Volt shock for training, 4-6k after Paddock layout for 2 batches: - 10 parallel (at least 10 feet wide) - Allay (30 feet wide for tractor) - 10 parallel (at least 10 feet wide) - Use wooden gate to move pigs (move gate around so only 2 are needed). - Paddocks can be permanent. Brush hog / mow 3 weeks prior to moving pigs in. Disturbance: - too short = brambles - Perfect = pasture - Too long = weeds Sickness: feed charcoal 2 biggest mistakes: - not moving frequently enough - Poorly maintained electric fencing
Check out bakers green acres channel he has wonderful pig videos and a very interesting story with a struggle with the govt and raising pigs on pasture

Joel is the MAN! Incredible information. Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
I've always said I would never have pigs, but the more of your pig videos I watch the more I want to get pigs.
Great vid and recap of your other tours with him....all except for the last few minutes when the piano music came on ungodly loud and I couldn't understand what y'all were saying - lol. Seriously though, good vid Justin, thanks!
Could Cut back on volume of music, couldn't hear clearly what he's saying at the end. Great content.
I’m ready to get more pigs. Thanks for the inspiration Justin.
By guess and by golly. That’s my type of farm math. Doesn’t need to be so exact. We’re farmers not NASA.
A couple or so weeks ago Al at Lumnah Acres was moving his pigport when the door came open. The pigs were so trained to the fence that stayed in the turned area and he had no problem getting them back into pigport.
He’s fascinating to listen to. Thanks for sharing him with us.

Titus Tucker lol yes it really happens. Thanks for the story
Joel is a humble genius!
Very useful information. We are planning on pigs in the spring. Thank you for sharing.
That was such great content. This should be in schools.

I hint watch your videos in about 2 1/2 weeks. Time to binge watch your videos

Great video! How much does this subsidize the pigs the pigs feed? What is in there feed?
Can you address predators? Great video!
This is good stuff. Thank you for posting.
Great video Justin. Thanks for sharing.
This is a great video I learned a lot
So could you put goats in behind them to eat the brambles?
You would have to think about different containment but you could.
hi, it's fantastic, greetings from Italy.
Very informative! You're actually starting to sell me on pigs--which are an animal I never thought I'd want to keep, ever--so pat yourself on the back, Mr. Rhodes.

T Reid best news I’ve heard all day. Too bad about the music. Too late to fix. Sorry.
Besides this especially if you only had a few, pigs are fun and loving creatures. Always have at least 2 for company. Ours appreciated having old basketballs or toys of some sort to kick around and carry around if they were soft enough.
Always inspiring thank you!
Thank you Justin.
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯is right! Wow! What a wealth of information! Great job! Thanks so much for sharing this with us. 🥰🤗👩🌾👨🌾🐷🐖🐗🐽🎃
That looks like eastern gama grass in the 5 week old paddock. The ice cream of grasses.
this was a very interesting video.. thank you
great info I would like to gift the pigs with a wallow every third paddock
I was trying to think of a way to do that too. Every so often give them a water spot, maybe where you have some troubling weeds ect. Just be able to attach a hose and do it by hand when and where you needed it. Longer drip line maybe.
Great content thanks!
wow pigs can terrace a hill side? that is very interesting. i have quite a slope, maybe pigs is the smart solution
That is my hope as well. Put in rows of certain trees in the right places too.
So no vlog today 😳
Awesome thank you so much
Love it
Thanks, Justin! Please come to my property and help us build that terrace you’d like to teach others to build, Joel! In the meantime, I’ll learn more about raising pigs! Justin can film it for clicks! Thanks I’m in central NC near VA border, so very doable! Win, win!
The fencing creates the area that the pigs berm up the soil. It would have to do with your slope and fence position.
cg5071 I’d like to see a diagram of how to create it. We have several sloping areas & a tranquil pastoral set up, terracing would be amazing!
That dude is like the Hulk!! I bet he could lift a cow..
That was a great run down on raising pigs. You bet I took plenty of notes.
Wish he would have talked about what kind of feed he is using though.
Now seriously, what else are you talking about in your course? Lol.
1/2 acres paddock
50 pigs
2 tones feed per paddock
10 paddock rotation
5-12 days per paddock (until food runs out)
80 day minimum rest period
Electric training wire with Spring to prevent breaking it.
10,000 Volt shock for training, 4-6k after
Paddock layout for 2 batches:
- 10 parallel (at least 10 feet wide)
- Allay (30 feet wide for tractor)
- 10 parallel (at least 10 feet wide)
- Use wooden gate to move pigs (move gate around so only 2 are needed).
- Paddocks can be permanent.
Brush hog / mow 3 weeks prior to moving pigs in.
Disturbance:
- too short = brambles
- Perfect = pasture
- Too long = weeds
Sickness: feed charcoal
2 biggest mistakes:
- not moving frequently enough
- Poorly maintained electric fencing

👍👍👍✅
So does a portion of the money go to Joel, since it's all his idea? Sounds like you're just the salesman.
