You’re the real deal. UA-cam is full of fake gurus who have never done it for real. You have. That matters.
Keep this content coming. Thanks for your educational efforts! Tim @ Cliffside Acres
Love your videos! Keep up the great work!
I used to raise Hereford 's and Duroc/Landrace crosses. Great pigs.
Great information and your pigs look good and happy
A.I. is the only way to go. We only used 3-4 teaser boars for an entire 3800 head commercial sow farm. Including every task from gilt development, heat check, and actual A.I. exposure.
Selecting your own replacement boars is interesting. How do you keep diversity? Can you breed the boars with their daughters? Granddaughters? Or is it boar 1 to mother, boar 2 to daughter, boar 1 to daughter of boar 2...? What is the minimum size herd to keep diversity up?
I'm interested in this as well.
Please make a similar video about gilts. Thanks.
Will do.
Awesome info
nice information thanks
Love watching this.
Very helpful
I like your video and you doing good, keep up the good work
Duroc hampshire cross makes such good lookin pigs that’s exactly what I’m lookin to raise soon.
BEAUTIFUL OPERATION THAT YINZ HAVE THERE.
BEING ABLE TO (PICK & CHOOZE) YOUR OWN
BOARS 🐗 ..... GREAT TUTORIAL AZ WELL 👏🏼.....
( KNUCKLE👊🏽BUMP ) FarmBuilder......
Nice one
I wish I could lay down and roll over in the hey it looks fun
Good video..ilike it👍
Underline is also important. If there are less nipples than pigs born in an average litter, it can create problems.
Yes, true. Good additional point.
Any links to the studies mentioned on running boars in pairs to increase litter size?
As a farrow to finish operation, how to manage your boars when they aren't breeding? Do you have a separate area for them? Or are they always on a breeding schedule?
So with 2 boars in each area how many sows do you have in with them , do they not need rest? and
with 7 groups do you follow with another set of boars in case some didn’t get pregnant so 4 of groups are feeding piglets?
Good farming! Im looking to run a farm business in the Philippines. How many pounds should the pig be for harvest?
Is the breed Hereford? Pronounced Herry-ford in UK. Guess it changed on the way over 😊Nice vid, nice pigs
Fascinating! Everyone here I know says "her-ferd" or "here-ford" . Do you know the origin of the name?
What, also, is the ration of breeding bores to breeding sows?
What do you get for weanling gilts and where r u located.
Do you castrate under the recommendation of the vets? Thanks. From other free-range pastured farmers, they said there are couple of different ways to castrate different animals. Thanks
It is different across species and practices.
How many litters do your sows have every year with you cycling them this way? And how do you schedule your cycles around the winter weather?
Two litters per year.
And no, we farrow straight through the winter although I dont reccomend it if you can avoid it.
@@FarmBuilder And you rotate 7 groups of sows you said, right? This number gives you enough time between groups to do your moving and chores and weaning? And bad winter weather might only affect one of those groups, and it is what it is, we can't predict those really cold mornings. I assume you just give them their farrowing sheds turned away from the wind and give them a bit of extra straw. It is refreshing to see someone who knows what the heck they are doing and is doing it economically. Also, I really like your calm voice and that you don't ramble on. Good stage presence and good flow of information thank you. I just found your channel, I am a new fan! Hi from northern Idaho :-)
Finding red hamp boars in Kentucky is near impossible at the moment It be great if I could find one to breed my gilt I’m aiming to keep, how much do y’all sell your young boars for?
you can email us at farmbuilders@gmail.com for a current pricelist.
When the boar’s are done and your ready to replace them, do you castrate them and butcher? Or is there no worry of Boar taint? I’m new to raising pigs. Ive been studying pretty hard. Thanks!
Our processor won't do boars under inspection so they are turned into doggy food.
Gotcha! Thanks!
👍👍
in a previous video you mentioned castrating at 2-4 weeks, weaning @7-8 weeks. Is this still your philosophy?
More or less. I shift around castration time but dont have a 100% happy place.
Can you give me the specification of solar enegizer
Intellishock 60 from premier 1 fence.
How profitable is the operation??
Around 700 dollars every half year of farming!
Jordan, where is your farm Iocated
Edinburg, Virginia
@@FarmBuilder I don't remember why I asked now
How do u control taenia solium to ur hogs in that free range
Periodic worming.
Congrats for the farmbuilder. Im interested with pig
Hi. Would it ever be safe to mix a wild caught boar into the bunch?
I probably would not.
Wild as it sounds and we have no idea are abusers in comparison to this domestic peaceful boars. Wild are beasts and super aggressive. They surely have a high testosterone level. I even heard those who catch them say it. One even have one jumping a 6' iron straight up fence and escape it. He said "wild hogs can jump!" Some of you have to see it to believe the energy those have!
You don't dock the tails?
Completely unnecessary in a pasture system.
But neccessary in a penned environment? How about clipping teeth, why do some say that os neccessary?
I dont dock tails or clip teeth. Tail chewing is a sign of stress typically seen in confinement settings. Teeth clipping is for when sows are in farrowing crates and can't get away from piglets biting their teets. Our sows dont have that issue.
Don't you have children of sows as possible breeding boars of those same sows?
Why they castrate male pigs?
To eliminate boar taint,plus makes handling easier.
The bottle "not the bottle"...
I'd just eat all the boars at weening...😆👍
Straight legs is actually a trait you do not want. They need to show some flexibility especially on the front end. On pasture this young boar may do all right, but I suspect he would break down in a confinement situation. Just my opinion.
