    About:
    Jason and Lorraine. In 2016 we sold most of our belongings and left the city in southern California to start a small homestead in the mountains of North Carolina. We left the city in search for a more minimal and intentional life. We became passionate about growing our own food and knowing what exactly is in our food after I (Jason) became diagnosed with cancer. Now 8 years in remission we as a family are on a journey to live our passions.
    We document our life on RUclips videos to inspire others to get out of their comfort zone and not be afraid of change. We started our own online general store where we have available the things we make and use in real life. Thank you for following us on this incredible life changing journey!

    @amykinnell2837 4 года назад +1

    It may also help to say the same phrase every time you feed them. “Brothers!” Or “Here pigs!” while you shake the bucket will help get their attention. Comes in handy if you ever need to load them or they get out & you are trying to get them to follow you. You want them to associate you with treats.

    we put our barrel on the outside of the pen on a stand for gravity flow then ran the nipple through to the pigs with an extension and secured it to a 2x4 so the pigs couldn't bang it around.

    @benharris4543 4 года назад +1

    Looks like a good place to be a pig! You also don't have to compost *all* of their waste in that pen with them -- you could remove what's visible to compost outside of the pen (still in wood chips), to reduce the potential parasite load in the pen, and then still add more wood chips on top of their poop corner. If you're walking back and forth with the fork full of wood chips anyway (to/from the pen/pile), it wouldn't be much extra work to remove as many droppings as you can easily get.

    I hung out with my pigs for a good 3-4 hours a day. It’s really exciting. Pigs are a neat animal. And I think the best homestead animal. Since you’re in the south. Look around for inexpensive whole peanuts. And start collecting acorns. If you give them a steady supply of peanuts. It makes the fat taste so damn good.
    Have you thought about processing yet? Maybe have Hand Hewn Farms do a class at your homestead?

    The bin is much to thin to screw in that type of waterer....you need to bring a line to a more solid vessel that isn't going to wiggle when they drink. Check out Living Traditions Homestead channel...they recently added a new pig watering station...that's what you need to sturdy your application.

    Man im conflicted with the whole raising pigs on wood chips like this, I watched Justin do it last year and im still just like I dunno lol. My concern is they are going to get way to hot in there, dont wood chips create a lot of heat? I'm for sure going to keep following you all on this. Might be good idea to put a outside temperature gauge in there with them just so you can see the difference in temps. Pigs are my favorite thing to rasie.
