- In this two-part episode we talk all things animals! Spring is coming on the homestead, and with it, we set our sights on growing our sustainable food sources. One of our goals is to eventually be completely self-sufficient. What are the best animals for us to raise? We set out to learn, and definitely learn our fair share of the lessons along the way. Some of them hard lessons. We have a lot to learn, but you only learn by diving in... head first.
In Part One, we add pigs to the homestead! Kune Kune pigs to be exact. We think these lovable, grazing pigs native to New Zealand make the perfect homestead pig.
Be sure to give us a follow for new videos and updates from our Idaho homestead. From life and living and learning, bardominium renovations, DIY How To's and hacks to design ideas and recipes.

Omgosh...you guys are wonderful. I grew up on a farm also and had many different kinds of animals. You learn so many important lessons as children helping to raise them... even the hard ones. But all of those lessons are important and missing for so many children today. It is great to see the joy in your girls and how much they care.
You are doing a great job as parents and grandparents. As my dad used to say... just always remember... " You can take the girl out of the farm but you can never take the farm out of the girl." Thank you for bringing back a little bit of that joy to someone who misses her farm life and hopes to go back someday 😊
What a great comment!!! Thank you so much!
Happy birthday🎉 to Skye and Sparrow🎉! Yes, prayer works on the homestead or farm with our creatures❤🙏too. So happy Max pulled through that freeze. Penelope is so pretty 😍. Baby piglets on the homestead will be so fun. When you build a sty aka pig shelter it should be low to ground roof as to help pigs be more comfortable and heat up better it doesn't work as effective if you say build it same as you would for cows and horses. Best of 😊happy pig raising.
Thank you!… and great tips!! 😄
@@homesteadfashioned Your very welcome!
pigs can not handle the cold at all. when i raised them i had to heat their shed
Yes! KuneKune are pretty cold tolerant (more-so when they are older and have more fat on them) But we keep a heat lamp in with them now.
