  • Pigs are notoriously hard to fence in, but it doesn't have to be that way. We use two strands of electric to fence in our backyard pigs, and it's worked well for us.

    Seeing how great you are with your animals has inspired me to buy my meat from a small farm. I 💯 want to support this type of farming. I was feeling really down and sad thinking my meat is coming from factory farming to the point that I was questioning if it was even okay to eat meat. I love animals and want them to be treated well even if they will eventually be food, a healthy happy animal will be healthier for us also. Thank you so much for being an inspiration and showing that there is a way to get meat without supporting factory farming 🙏

    Thinking really hard about pigs right now - I have four goats in milk.I didn't know they eat ferns. Good to know as I have lots and one of my current livestock will touch it. As for putting tools down, I got a roll of blaze orange duct tape to wrap around things like the t-post pounder (and hay hook) that get put down frequently. Easier to spot, and a good reminder to pick it up and put it away!

      @TheMindfulHomestead I'm in and doing my part ... haven't started with pigs yet. But planning on it soon. Already have ducks, chickens and rabbits. And building small coops that are affordable and easy to transport...

    Man thanks! The insulators... I've had soooo. Much trouble with those I've got most of my fence down. And was fixin to totally redo and put time into making my own... but I'll try your way first ... will save me a bunch of work! Thanks 🤞

      Yea, the non-locking insulators are terrible. I've had much better luck since switching to the polytape insulators.

    How do you keep out predators at night or do you put them back in pen?

    • @TheMindfulHomestead
      @TheMindfulHomestead  3 месяца назад

      We don’t worry about predators with the pigs except for black bears in the spring.

    What model Solar Charger is that?

    • @TheMindfulHomestead
      @TheMindfulHomestead  11 месяцев назад

      The one we have is a .15 Joule solar charger from American Farmworks. The one I have linked is a slightly better one though, and what I would go with if I were to buy again.
