Amazing! Very impressive and interesting, right way feeding pigs with grass. Thank you for sharing your experience, hope more farmers will follow your advices and we all will get great and healthy food. Our food production system needs to be change to better. Thank you so much. I only have gardens but enjoy watching life on real farm and you have been doing everything beautifully. Thank you also to my favorite Curtis Stone for introducing you and Rob to the audience. Good luck!!! P.s please show baby animals more as you talking about something (if possible, as they are so adorable)
Just found these videos 🤙🏾 have you ever tried Shackleys Basic H, the company has been around for 70+ years and this is a organic, natural enzyme cleaner but a lot of farmers use it in the live stock water as a type of deworming system. We have found that it keeps the fly population down on our donkeys. It’s only a few drops per gallon and we use it once a month for chickens,donkeys and sheep. FYI
What fencing do you use to keep them in? especialy the piglets? Don't the piglets run under the electric fence wire? Or do you rely on mama pig to keep them in a pack?
Very cool farm you have up there, I have been wanting to get my pigs in with my sheep cows and geese for a while now but am having a hard time figuring out a watering system to accommodate them all. Pigs and geese dirty the water very fast as well as wasting a ton. I would love to see how you keep the water clean for your cows with the pigs in the same paddock.
Takota, do you even have issues with pigs digging under your fences and running away? if you do, how do you deal with that? do you have to fence underground for atleast 1 ft?
It is really heartwarming to see those friendly cows and dynamic piglets roaming around. You mention adapting the pigs to a grass oriented diet, what is your selection criterion when you choose which genetics to favor? Weight?
💛 If I get a pigs that came from mothers that were raised on grain and the piglets in turn are fed grain once weaned and I want to raise the pigs as you do yours, how much of what do I feed them and how much do I increase yearly? Thx
Start at 10-15% hay mixed in and increase as much as you can every year without it negatively affecting the weight gain or health of your animals. About 5% per year is what I did until I got to about 50% Now my mix mill wont work if I put in anymore hay!
I can see how your farming system is different than Salatin style. But does that mean you have different goals? It seems like the Salatin style is easier for a beginner farmer. Your farms are fascinating though. Great work you're doing.
having the pigs out on pasture having to find their food also gets them moving more, and moving pigs are healthy pigs! and healthy pigs taste better and result in meat that's better for you! so great. plus they don't have all the fear and stress hormones build up that can taint meat such as factory farmed pigs do
It warms my heart to see the livestock in the pasture. the grass looks great!

Hey I didn't realize you had your own channel! Great to see. Glad to see more of what you are working on. :)
Oh my that calf's coloring seen in the first minute....cutie!
Brilliant summary. New subscriber looking forward to following along.
What a beautiful sight!
Thank you so much for doing this. Factory farms break my heart, they are a complete disgrace.
Blessings to all!

Do you add the chickens to the mix to further break up the cow pats?
I was wondering the same thing.

Excelente, muy buena técnica, toca imitarla.
how does your system change during the Canadian winters, without access to pastures and things like that?
he explained that in the video they do a silage like process with the early grass cut

The geese love to get into the water troff and give themselves a bath as well.
This guy makes me want to start farming

What do you do regarding castrating?
How do you keep the cows from eating pigs feed when you feed them?
Thanks.

@@TakotaCoen Thank you!
How do you find the pigs handle -40C in the pasture in our lovely AB climate?
They get lots of extra straw, and wind protection, other than that they are outside. They dont seem to mind!

Ok, where you from and your farm located
brother con u make a new morning chores video
You bet!
Grass fed pork! Excellent!
Your pasture sizes need to be significantly smaller and do intensive rotational grazing so you're more efficient on your pastures.
having the pigs out on pasture having to find their food also gets them moving more, and moving pigs are healthy pigs! and healthy pigs taste better and result in meat that's better for you! so great. plus they don't have all the fear and stress hormones build up that can taint meat such as factory farmed pigs do
