    @ART and BRI Hello! I'm a new subscriber from Ireland.
    We use our pigs to 'plough' our paddocks all the time. We find the key is to make sure they're moved along before they get stuck in to one area. They till the areas we grow crops on for us, and them, and also when we want to reseed pasture.
    I once had a sow pull all the bedding from a farrowing ark, make a nest in the paddock and have her litter in the open air, wonderful to watch!
    We recently 'retired' our old sow and boar and their replacements are going in with the chickens in a few days.
    Have a great day. 🐿️"

    I can't wait to watch what they will do in the woods, really curious if they will build a nest home for themselves or just for the mom pig. I found it fascinating on a different channel how the guy found a shelter/nest the pigs built in the woods for the female to give birth and raise the piglets. Your pigs seem very personable and to have a bit of personality - I love watching them!

    Wonderful video Art. I had just picked up some red clover, white clover, Turnip and radish seeds to reseed our pig pen- we have the pigs with the goats right now in the large paddock - and they are tearing it up (we knew they would) as we plan to disk the paddock and replant it and then move the fencing around. I was considering adding some peas to the pig paddock and now I think I definitely will.

    Just in case anyone doubted you pigs do turn top dirt into cement. We used our pigs opposite of you. The family farm was in S. central Ky. where the under lying bedrock was Karst Limestone (Mammoth Cave), great for getting calcium into the grasses but horrible for ponds, it wasn't unusual to wake and find our pond(S) completely drained, we'd fence off the leaky pond, put a good number of hogs in and let them transform the bottom into an impervious water tight covering.

    • @MoeSlislack
      @MoeSlislack 6 лет назад +2

      that's really interesting. around here in south west Georgia we are actually a pretty low elevation and have a lot of springs but also have lime sinks. I see people around here trying to make ponds and a lot of them never hold water. I have seen a few that do but I think they actually concreted the bottoms but I'm not certain. I will be sure and tell them what you said about pigs being able to make it where the pond will hold water.

    I'd be dividing the pasture into smaller enclosures, and bringing the chooks in behind the pigs rather than concurrently. It might be slightly less efficient, but eliminates the likelihood of the pigs having a chicken dinner.

Even if everybody becomes a farmer and does what he is doing the entire world would be deforested by pigs and their would be famine.

    When I was about 6, I was at my great, great Uncle's farm and he had just got a delivery of 500 chicks. While the adults went in to visit, I stayed out to look at the chicks. Two of the hogs got loose and knocked over the boxes of chicks and ate them. I was yelling for help and hitting them with sticks but I couldn't do any good. By the time the adults heard me and got down to the barn, it was over. My Dad really fussed at me for hitting the hogs. He said they could have killed me before anyone could have saved me.

    Yes, if you leave pig's in 1 spot too long they will tear it up. But helpful when you need it tilled up.

    You should be picking out all of those rocks your pigs were kind enough to unearth!

We only have 5.1 acres, and I am working towards being able to rotate any area of the property out for gardens.

    umm since im old and handicapped all i can do is give advice from our experiences. We 1st ran all of our animals together on 50 acres split into 5 pastures which included goats, pigs, chickens and ducks. But did notice we lost a few chickens not that bad but it seems its because pigs are territorial of their feed and chickens will try to steal their feed .... so when pigs snap at the chickens they occasionally hurt or kill them so then they'd eat'em.... we only lost 3 roosters that way but it was suppose to be our food not theirs. So then we kept the pigs and goats together then on rotation the chickens followed the pigs and goats. Like you said though you can't leave pigs in a spot to long or they'll stomp the ground into concrete also if you let it get muddy at all your goats could get foot rot! The only muddy place we had was dwn at the shallow end of the pond that the goats avoided like the plaque! And chickens following the pigs and goats is also great way to reduce parasites. Goats clear brush, pigs are like plows and chickens are like rakes leveling out the land lol oh forgot was noticing your mora knife link i have mora bushcraft black for every day carry its a great box opener too lol but i get mine from this guy www.ragweedforge.com/SwedishKnifeCatalog.html

    My father told me of Dutch farmers just after WWII would graze a field with cattle, then turn in sheep. Next comes the pigs and later it's finished off by chickens. By then most weed seeds are gone and the field is then ideal for planting high value vegetable crops.

    The covercrop you just put out could you put this out and goats eat this. I have very little grazing land and feeding hay year round.

    Awesome...also chickens will clean a pighead in a couple of days, a little bit of brain is left but the skull will be white in days, nearly flesh free.

    Maybe I’m a bit of a perfectionist but why didn’t you pick up some rocks when you were sowing the cover crops?
    We pick up just a few every time we mow and over the years it makes the lands so much nicer

    Do y'all connect your electric poultry/hog netting to a permanent electric fence structure? I'm considering doing that.

    My mother had a piglet that she raised with her chickens until she caught it eating one alive, feet first (yes it died). Do not leave pigs with chickens without supervision.

      That sounds like a fluke. I had a pet pig and other than a time when she was young and had fun chasing them, she never had any predatory urge against them.

      Do not leave pigs with chickens unless the pigs have plenty of food choices available. A pig in a pen only fed once a day with no other options might each anything in its pen.
