About Sweet Briar Farm
We are a small farm located in Central/Northern Michigan. We farm every inch of our 6 acres. We breed Registered Dairy Goats, Dexter Cattle, and Heritage Hogs. Clean healthy food is important to us and we like to produce the majority of our food on the farm and we grow and raise enough to sell to local customers. Producing our own food also means we forage for wild edibles such as mushrooms and tap our maple trees in the spring to make maple syrup. In 2019 we added honeybees to the farm and have had as many as 30 active hives producing honey for us.
Our goats include Nubian goats, Mini Nubians, Fainting Goats, and Nigerian Dwarf goats.
Our Heritage Hogs include: registered Berkshires, Tamworth, Kune Kune, and Hereford.

Your daughter is very cute 😊
thanks for the video. I have been researching new born piglets because we just had our first on our farm. A couple of other farmers said to put the Iron shots in the neck. (Sometimes the iron injections discolor/taint the meat where the injection is given. They wanted to take that risk with neck meat instead of ham meat. I hope this helps. 😊
Thank you for giving love to those Piglets, may all pigs have better lives in their future.
We bottle fed ours and she is now 3 weeks+! Doing great! Good luck!
You did such an amazing job with Harpo! Well done💕🙏🏻
We did our best. Thank you!
We are all rooting for you!!!!
Nice vlog ❤️
I hope they all make it too. Making it through the first night is a good sign.
Pig mom died ,,,what to do with 5 piglets
How did they fare? Did you have a lot of trouble with sicknesses?
Only one survived. The other 2 lived a few days and then died. The survivor is actually going to the butcher in a week.
But he stayed healthy never got sick.
Aww.. sorry to hear you lost some. We had a sow that was determined to savage her litter this year no matter what we tried. She remained great with us but would lunge and try to attack any baby that came near. They all got little to no colustrum, so we had to use a colustrum replacer and then milk replacer. They have most or all of them been sick every other week. We are trying hard to wean them now at 6 weeks. But so far, 7 of the 8 are still alive and gaining.
@@christian4ever672 we had some goat colostrum we gave them. I can’t remember if we mentioned that or not. The few Berkshire’s we just weaned from a recent farrowing 2 have been sick. We are done with Berkshire’s.
