    You get a sense from this guy's presentation of how important an individual farmer or homesteader's circumstances are to getting animals that fit with what you're trying to accomplish. It's not a one size fits all, insert generic pig into slot A kind of prospect. It requires a clear understanding of what your goals are, and what your resources and limitations are, and what kind of animal is going to work well in your individual system. Really enjoy this 'researchy' type content, and look forward to seeing an update on the home front.

    Thanks for another great interview, Dan! This gentleman was an excellent presenter, very informed and obviously very passionate about his pigs. I love learning about livestock breeds and the way they're developed. I'm planning on creating a miniature meat goat by breeding Boer/Kiko does to a Pygmy buck, so videos like this are right up my alley.

      Good day everyone. Nice video, Cryptocurrency still remains one of the best online investment mostly when it comes to Bitcoin. being the largest asset so far, although bitcoin trading and making good profits from trading bitcoin seems to be a bit difficult for most people out there because they make the wrong approach and strategy when it comes to trading. As a trader, so for i have been successful trading bitcoin because i was smart enough to do some research on making good profits daily and got to find out about a working strategy and signals provided by a pro trader known as Richard Bruce. During my first month i was able to grow my portfolio from 2.40BTC to a total of 4.7BTC with Mr Richard daily signals which you will agree that is a very good profits, so i would say don't rush and sell off, grow the little you hold with a very profitable signals.

    Beautiful family and beautiful pigs. Thanks for the informative vid on IPP's. I have seen commercial breeds drilling to China, apparently these guys don't. This is the first I have heard of the quality of meat...."better than the Berkshire, and more marbled with fat." Once again, I see a video of IPP's interacting great with kids and humans in general! Is this a reliable trait of the IPP?

    Thank you, John; this was very informative. Until now, I was completely ignorant about IPPs. This may possibly be the breed for me, but then it would be a Washington Pastured Pig. (jk)
    Thanks, Dan. I really enjoy these vignettes about various breeds & landraces. You may sway me away from my beloved GOS pigs.

    Interesting. You switched up the filming style again. :) You do like trying new things.
    It'll be interesting to hear how you rate the different breeds across various criteria if you still want to keep raising pigs. Prior to this, I'd thought red wattle sounded best. This one's close, though.

    • @TheGrassfedHomestead
      @TheGrassfedHomestead  6 лет назад +1

      The red wattles got a glowing review. The IPPs seem like a really good hybrid...the best of both worlds (faster growing than AGH and Kune but still easy on pasture and good feed conversion)

    Just picked up an IPP feeder. I am trying to figure out the best breed for my homestead. I am trying to raise me current feeder for mainly grass. Did he talk to you about how much grain he feeds his pigs daily? Love the videos. Currently in LE and trying my own RUclips channel.

    • @TheGrassfedHomestead
      @TheGrassfedHomestead  5 лет назад

      I don't recall how much feed he gives them but IPPs will need more grain or other feed than grass

  • @lanedouglas2165
    @lanedouglas2165 6 лет назад +5

    Why do I see some farmers feed (pigs in this video, but I've seen other animals) on the ground?
    Seems to me that you loose a % of the food, and the animals ingest a % of foreign matter.

    • @TheGrassfedHomestead
      @TheGrassfedHomestead  6 лет назад

      There is certainly a little loss by feeding on the ground. I think John usually uses hog feeders where they can eat free choice out of a large container.

  • @UncleDutchFarms
    @UncleDutchFarms 6 лет назад

    So glad you posted this! I'm strongly considering the IPP but just wondering - do they do okay on forage vs grass? I'm up north of Spokane and up here I just have mostly woody shrubs and very little grass. It's perfect for goats but I'd love to find a pig that would utilize this brushy stuff as well.

    • @TheGrassfedHomestead
      @TheGrassfedHomestead  6 лет назад

      I can't say for certain, but I believe they do. John used his IPPs to do a lot of brush clearing if I remember correctly

    • @atz3atz3
