    Well done on finishing the fence Luke, you did a great job!! I am sure the piggies will enjoy their new space once they get used to it, and no doubt they'll 'point' out the weak spots when they find them! I just hope that Sarah will continue going for walks with them as they seem to love that.

    • @lukeandsarahsoffgridlife
      @lukeandsarahsoffgridlife  8 місяців тому +1

      Yes the girls will still come on a few walks a week but they do have to get used to living inside a fence , they have become way too wild 🤣

    Love watching Timmy with his Olympic style jumping over Molly. She likes it too. I think the pigs are going to like their new enclosure except when they see you going for walks. Luke did a major job on the fencing. It looks good, hope it keeps the pigs inside. Great video Sarah.

    So wanted to share my experience on how pigs can dig out a lake. We had a shallow cove that that our pigs had access to. They would go and create a waller at the pond edge. They would make it nearly as deep as themselves. They would completely coat themselves with mud then climb out and go to higher ground. The mud would dry off and fall off. Then back to the waller they go. So each big hauled off a bucket of mud every time they used the waller. So they dug out a lot of mud. As the lake dried out they kept chasing the water and wallering out the mud

    Well done with the fence! Fencing is what separates farmers from ranchers. When you are either fencing your animals in or out of areas, you are able to manage your land appropriately for best effects. The next enclosure beside this one only needs 3 sides!

    Thanks, Luke, for reviewing the need for your build of high security fencing for your long-planned for pond gléeing experiment. Your girls are the offspring of the wiliest escapists, Oreo and Coco Pop. Great work, Luke. Have a peek at Cindy's vlog to see hom Miguel reworked their fence's weak spots... for reference, of course, in case you ever have a need 😉.

Sarah I love the way the colour of your wellies (wellington) boots match the colour of your jacket today it is red the other day yellow. Lovely fashion status. That sunset was absolutely beautiful. I miss those, I used to see those in Rhodesia in Africa when I was a little girl.
