Rotational Grazing Pigs

Until our pigs get big enough to be in an electric fence pasture we use these hog panels to pen them in. We want them to have plenty of fresh graze, so we move the location of the pen every other day.

WHAT IS THEIR NAMES LINK PATTY AND BACON

[@LorellaPlanBeeOrchardandFarm]

hahaha! We try not to name our food. Last year we jokingly called them Bacon and Sausage. This year we call them "The Three Little Pigs" collectively, and one I call Groucho because of the big black markings above his eye.

Hi....thank you for sharing. how big is the fenced in area that the pigs stay in?

[@LorellaPlanBeeOrchardandFarm]

Hi when they are piglets we keep them in four hog panels. It is a 16x16 square. When they get bigger we train them to hog wire and they get a 1/3 acre section to roam and forage. Let me find a video to show you.

[@planninganozarkhomestead9884]

Thank you so much for the additional information but I have one more question...When they get on the 1/3 acre section, do you still move them every two days? @@LorellaPlanBeeOrchardandFarm

[@ricosplace2]

[@LorellaPlanBeeOrchardandFarm]

Yes we do!

[@kismetbleu9363]

That's the problem!!

[@LorellaPlanBeeOrchardandFarm]

It's not a problem!!
hahaha!

[@douglascanlassr.6487]

That plant looks like a wild eggplant.

[@LorellaPlanBeeOrchardandFarm]

oh! thank you! I'll look that up.

[@michaelhowell3193]

Do you have instructions on how you built or connected your mobile hog panel pen?

[@LorellaPlanBeeOrchardandFarm]

Yes. It was very simple. We used carabiner clips, two on each corner, one near the bottom, and one about 2/3 of the way up. It made it very easy to get in and out as well.

[@Thrillseeker666]

Cute pigs, go on keto man and lose some weight easily.

[@LorellaPlanBeeOrchardandFarm]

Thanks.

[@LorellaPlanBeeOrchardandFarm]

But I'm not sure the pigs would like a keto diet.
