- Power Washing A Pig Barn For 14 Hours Straight
Video Topic: Sorting Power Washing A Pig Barn
In this one I start by tearing down our hog barn to get it ready for washing. But, we ran into a little bit of a problem along the way. One of our feeders was full of feed and needed to get the feed eaten out of it before we flipped it. We moved pigs into that pen to do just that. Next we went and got the equipment needed for power washing. The next day I finally started washing and the grind didn’t stop for 2 days. It took me roughly 14 hours to completely finish one side of our 2400 hog barn. There is more to pig farming than meets the eye.

Hell of a job, young man, a hard work ethic is hard to find in the new generation. Your dad must be proud.
I totally agree with you on power washing. It is a grueling job. We use to wash or own barns but it just became to much to do. My guy that washed our barns now does our 4800 head site in 5-6 hours and our 4000 head site in 4-5 hours. He's absolutely fantastic!!! He pulls up in a semi and 5 guys jump out and away they go. His pump puts out 60,000 psi (12,000/wand). He turns it down to 4000/wand. He tells me all the time that there's no such thing as hard pack. Lol. His pump was actually made to cut concrete with water. He does about 30,000 pig spaces a week!!!
Would love to know the name of his company.
Pig farmer from Sweden here!
Yeah washing can be pretty tedious!
But after a while I tend to get in the "zone" when you're not thinking about what u are doing.
I remember about twenty years ago I was sitting at a blackjack table in Las Vegas. Me and the Ex were on one end and a young couple joined at the other end. We started talking and they said they were from
Iowa. Being a smart ass, I asked them what kind of pigs they raised. So for the next thirty minutes I got to hear about the different breeds of pigs raised in America and the reasons why one breed or mix was the better or worse and why they picked theirs. Nice couple and they taught me the price of being a smart ass.
Haha great story. Iowan’s love their pigs 🐷
I was pressure washing the pig barn today it's so true it's all mental I cut my finger open on the water from the power washer I felt like quiting but you gotta keep going.
Why is it that that’s my job power washing out the hog barns.... yet I can still come home and watch another guy do it.
🤣 Your luck bro.
Who cares what you look like. You work on a pig farm. Duh.
Great job. Well done. Thumbs up.
I know that feel bro xD idk the answer but Im here too jajajaja
I washed my barn once and then hired out for the next 25 years😀
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
I used to work in a farrow to finish barn. We weaned twice a week, so we would wash four farrowing rooms a week and probably a weaner room once a week. I used to enjoy pressure washing rooms. I found you could just kind of zone out and clean.
I am absolutely amazed with your content also. I never been around hog farms, been around broiler houses and laying houses. You and your dad do a wonderful job
Good work guys. Really like the info on farming. I like knowing where my food comes from and how you’re doing it and you guys are doing an awesome job thank you
Thanks for taking us along.
You need a ball valve wand that will help you out a ton. It's a wand that is like your trigger but the trigger is gone and you put a 1/4 turn ball valve between the Lance and handle. Open the ball valve and no more squeezing the trigger. When you're tired put handle in arm pit and keep on going.
On the farm I work on we just zip tie the handle. Lol
I used to LOVE power washing the barns
I can’t believe that your quality is this good for how many subscribers you have
Hey man these are my favorite kind of comments 🙏🏻 appreciate you. Hopefully it takes off soon
Good job a d great info on your vlogs.
This guy works his ass off.Pretty amazing guy.
We used to pressure was chicken barns, with layers of cages, 200 feet long and 50 feet wide. We took turns, 2 hours on and 2 hours off. Sharing the work made it so much easier.
Great video thanks
You are good at the vids, keep it going!
Your videos are high quality and you will have plenty of subscribers in a short time. Keep it up. You should do a full farm tour of equipment and buildings.
Appreciate that man! 🙏🏻 I’ll add that to this list of ideas
You don't use synergy disinfectant we always foam it with the disinfectant after
I feel your pain we did farrow to finish. I hated PW the 2 farrow buildings. Had to do them each every 4-7 weeks and they had to be disinfected. We were small operation each farrow building had 32 pens.
Damn that’s what my dad and grandpa used to do when we had our own pigs.
You best pig farm
i am working for a farmer in nebraska and boy i can tell you how not to farm with hogs. your barns is nice and clean what a dream to dream
I used to have to wash our barn after emptying. We had a week before filling. Now I have 4 days until I fill again. I don't have the time to wash myself so I get custom washers that wash the barn in 2 days.
I use to wash barns for three years and damn I don't miss it but you weren't kidding about hitting that mental wall
Mental game!
we are gettimg ready for feeder pigs
In the feeders after we wash them there is a lip that packs all the feed and stuff into it and it's really hard to clean it out I can't see that your getting it look inside to see if you can hit that spot and what can make it easier
I didn’t get any footage on the way back. But I turn the feeder over onto the other side so the interior of the feeder is showing and I hit the lips pretty good. 👍🏻
I know what you are talking about. I work in a harrowing unit and I power wash 3 times a day or when we wean our little pigs. You have to get those rooms very clean for your next set due to farrows. So I know how hard it is to power wash.
i feal ya bud just got done with the south lot now north tommrow
I also wash pig burns Love the videos do more pressure washing videos I wish I could record mine and post it
Keep up the good work. Im catching up on vids. A few requests if you don’t mind...
1) Explain the manure traps, where it goes, pump, dangers, etc?
2) You haven’t mentioned much about the pigs themselves. What do you specifically look for? Injuries, sickness, aggression, etc? You have a lot of info on the buildings but missing the most important part, the pigs!
3) Do a history on your farm with your father. Acres, timeline, grandparents, your general location, etc? One of the most interesting videos MF did.
It is a very tough job, absolutely no fun. Its way worse in the wintertime
I’m from Northern Ireland and I wash broiler chicken houses everyday hard work but moneys good
Why not install a fire hose washing system. You will get the cleaning pressure, plus you can have the hose in different locations.
Late to the game here. We raise finishers as well. Washing is probably the worst part. Growing up my dad always said " if I see sh*t when you're done better be prepared to eat it" haha.
I just started doing this about 3 days ago, so I'm still learning. Is there any tips or techniques anyone might recommend?
Hi there, just found your channel. I find it quite interesting how you raise pigs. Just wondering if you use a mild disinfectant during power washing. Thanks-Pat
You disinfect after power washing at least on our farm
I wish you would just set a camera up to watch baby pigs, they are the cutest little ones out there.
I live in Illinois and wash barns all year round. It’s exhausting but pays good if you ever want someone to do it for you let me know 😉
Haha I’ll be sure to let you know man. 👌🏻
Respect to you for washing 💯
Summer washing with hot water is brutal in sealed barns, (no curtains)
Winter not so much, I used to open to outside doors for ventilation and got yelled at for promoting disease. Let me just marinate in this stinky sauna
How much would you charge for a barn of that size
its not as easy as everyone thanks
How do you go about hardpack that is 8inches tall?
Is the orange floors easier or is the floors in this video easier. I wash 6 Orange floor barns. Take 4 days for one barn
What kind of disinfectant do you use when washing?
Hot water lol
how often do you pressure washed your barn ?
I had no idea that you had to be this clean with pigs. You work like a horse runaway. granny90
How much does it cost to have a service or someone power wash the 2,400 barn?
It was the subway, lol
Hope they paid you a bunch of money to do this. Looks like a ton of work!
Do you use soap in the wash?
You think pressure washing pig barns is hard you should try 🐑 sheep shearing. I would surround your barns with sheep to save you mowing 4hours every week. Lol good job Sawyer, keep them coming.
Haha I bet that’s a pain! Anything to cut down on time mowing I’ll take it 😂
Tip: For irritated skin and sore muscles try Bluebird Botanicals hemp cbd sports lotion I give it a 10/10.
What does the red markings on the backs signify ?
Thumbs up !
I’ll definitely look into it! 👌🏻
Thanks 🙏🏻
How much do you save by doing the washing yourself instead of hiring it out? Is there really hog pen washing companies?
*I see that you finally broke down and bought some airpods😁*
Good video used too work on a pig farm here in the uk had 600 sows bred and finished all ours, pork weights 55-60lb bacon weights 200-300lb and cutters pigs which didnt make either bacon or pork at 75lb did all our own teeth clipiping and vacs al dry feeding as swill got banned after a national disease out break in 2007 foot and mouth feed was delivered in bulk into bins we ran a batch farrowing system
Why not put the feed back in a bag, damned expensive stuff to waste!
G
soak down then wash
You should not complain so much about power washing the barns, as it was you who said you were greedy and wanted to save that money you would have to pay to have it done for you.
you are to much talk
Too much talking. More action. I skipped threw the video, every frame was your face. More work dude!
Bro I do it 4 a living its like u said mental u wanna quit but can't just gotta take a break breath get back to it sucks but I get paid 175$ a day to do it not something I wanna keep doing
I know what you are talking about. I work in a harrowing unit and I power wash 3 times a day or when we wean our little pigs. You have to get those rooms very clean for your next set due to farrows. So I know how hard it is to power wash.
