- I love Using pigs to clear land. It saves time, money, and you get lots of bacon! If you don't love bacon, I'm sorry, you should get that checked out by a doctor. For those of you that love pork, get yourself some pigs and clear that overgrown area you've been talking about taking care of for years.
Zach...with your voice you could be an awesome CNN or Fox news host,😊😊😊😊 but I am happy that you choose a life as a farmer....You bring much more positive results for humanity being a farmer.....thank you for your care about nature....and provide people with healthy food...
The before and after showing how much the pigs are able to do in helping to restore the land to be more accessible and usable. Seems like you are doing a great deal in trying to make Farming turn into a successful venture as you create a thriving homestead. Keep up the good work.
I have got to say this is literally my favorite channel to watch, I have watched every single video and its been amazing to see the property and ya'll progress. I hope that one day I can save enough to get into homesteading and self sufficiency. Nice UTV as well that will help a ton around the homestead!!
Thank you! With some hard work you will get there!!
I have absolutely missed you guys
You don't like my Nana. She used to use pigs back in the old days to get rid of poison ivy/ poison Sumac on the hillside. Crazy how the old ways are coming back.
Consider installing a Screech Owl nest box. Owls eat rodents which host ticks. Rodents attract pit vipers, Bobcats and Coyotes. Screech Owls have a 90% diet overlap with Copperhead snakes and more than 60% with Timber Rattlesnakes. Given modern forestry practices there are not enough nesting cavities for Screech Owls.
Watch Missouri Agroforestry videos by Coggeshall. He has a three part video of his favorite Silvopasture tree the Swamp White Oak.
To focus your pigs efforts on eliminating Briars, go out on your first Crop Insurance Planting day and toss Turnip seeds into the sticker bed. Sixty days later soak corn in water overnight and lead the pigs to the Turnip patch and let them watch you throw this corn into the Briar patch. Pigs enjoy Turnip greens, bulbs and corn. They will root up the Briars and chews the sweet juice out of the roots leaving cleared fluffy soil ready for planting.
Nice seeing you again!! It’s been awhile!! Looks like your still expanding!! Nice ride!! Beautiful animals and advice!! Keep the videos coming!!
Hmmm now you got me thinking I just may have to get a couple 🐷! Thanks
Do it!!
@@ThePasturedHomestead I think they would do excellent on 50 acres. I’m excited for spring now 🤣🤣
@@simplelove513 oh they’d have a blast! You can run 10 pigs an acre no problem!
Missed your videos!! Keep ‘em coming!!❤
Mike is a star!!! Great video so much information!!
New to your channel from Wisconsin. I love it!!
Welcome 😃
Enjoyed the video
Great idea
Brilliant.
Where have you been? Really missed you!
Need some more frequent videos buddy
I appreciate the support 👍 I’ll get videos out when I have the time and feel like I’ve got a video to make. I’m glad you’re enjoying the channel
Congrats on the new side by side! What brand is it?
We got a Polaris ranger!
I think Bacon knows his days are numbered
I want to see a side by side review with what you got? Im looking for one now and would like your opinion.
It may be a little early for me to do a full review since we just got it a week ago but we are really enjoying it so far! We got a 2024 Polaris ranger 1000 crew base model. Really liking it!
This is awesome. I hope to do this one day. Got a 6 acre piece of land. How are they with wet ground? I imagine they would make a mess? Not a problem for me as long as it’s not unhealthy for them
They usually make a mess in wet ground but they are pigs, they love it!
It seems like they even eat or destroy the plants that the books say are poisonous. Do they remove the horsenettle and cocklebur?
Nowadays it's a good idea to move out from big cities.....at least the fresh air and the silence are treasures...of course your difficulties will not be over when you move into countryside, but I think prons are much more😊😊😊😊😊😊
Couldn’t agree more!
When the brush is so thick like that, how do you run the electric wire through to set it up to begin with? Thanks!
You’ll have to do some weed whacking for sure!
Zach I have a question for you about your pigs. I have the same breed and despite my best efforts of running two string hot wire they are always getting out. How do you handle that? I would appreciate any tips.
Put them back in a pen made of cattle panels or woven wire fence. Then run the wire around the outside, then move that wire in further and further overtime. If you have any pigs still getting out after that, it might be time to get new pigs. We train our piglets from a couple weeks old to one single strand, so we haven’t really had any issue with pigs that consistently want to get out
Will they eat poison oak or poison ivy?
Hello, so just those grass enough for the pigs?
No, they get grain as well
How much is an Idaho pasture pig?
Feeders usually go for $150 and breeders go for $400-450
Have you had any issues with predators?
We haven’t had any issue with predators other then the neighbors dogs getting to some of our free ranging chickens
I have seen no coyotes since I got pigs. I have seen my pigs play tug of war with a snake. After they reach a month or two in age, I would be more afraid for the predators.
HOW CAN YOU NAME YOUR LIVE STOCKS!!!
We believe they deserve that level of respect
I NAMED MY FIRST THREE PIGS BACON, PORK CHOP AND BARBIE (BBQ).
❤videos❤
How do you predator proof them?
We dont! We've never had an issue with predators.
human predator?
