If I didn't watch video after video, I would have never believed I could raise 3 piglets to full size in our woods on two little tiny polywire lines (after I trained them on the panels and wire). Thanks for videoing and sharing the knowledge! I have had such an amazing experience with these pigs! And my husband is absolutely amazed at the beautiful field of clover I planted after their first move, 4 months ago. Friday is the big day! Thanks again!
I'll be interested to see how the grass comes back with the hay covering. I think it's going to work well. Good idea! It's also so true that the pigs short out the hog netting by flinging dirt on it when rooting. Having the hot wire is also a great idea! I'm looking forward to their move to the next paddock. I just love seeing all the animals moved onto fresh grass.
Your pork sausage is the best I have ever tasted. I have never had better eggs than yours. Thank you for your service to our community, the land, and our Country. Thrilled to be one of your customers.
Brilliant Jordan. Good to have another presentation. I all along thought that moving the steel panels weekly was a lot of work. And with the soil protection with a grass covering is it the perfect answer. Very well done. Would be interesting to have your view on the climate change matter seeing that you operate mainly outdoors. And can thus give an educated comment. Not that any change during only 20 years could be noticed. But. If. Should one take heed. Give gas.
Another problem with the net fencing is if they do try to bolt through the net fencing and they are electrified they will be getting shocked until you find them.
Hi Jordan, love the video. We use a similar setup with wire netting to train our weaners. Do you stick to a single hotwire in front of the netting when moving these pigs onto pasture?
Jordan processing plants with a usda inspector seems difficult to find one closest to us..is there a web site you can direct us to to find where the nearest one is? Not just custom processing. Thank you
Do you finish them out to slaughter weight on the net/wire system or do you swap them to just the wire at a certain age/size? I’ve been going from training pen straight to wire only with good luck but my groups are smaller.
Great! I wonder...Did they tear the bark off the trees? If so, I wonder how we can keep them off the trees and possibly killing them? Also, if they root too long and deep, are they eating the roots?
We've started using the wire and net set-up you have and we haven't had any breakouts yet! For the wire spool, where do you get it? What gage of wire do you use?
@@hannalachy1332 Jordan laid out the training area perfectly in this video. I do a very similar training area, except the hotwire goes all the way around the inside of pig panel fence. After 2 months in training, they graduate to the double hot wire 6" and 12" off ground. They already respect a single hot wire prior to moving to pasture setup. The piglets would just root under the netting after 2 days of them grounding it out. Its an expensive visual barrier
Hello my name is Jamie Miles i run 7 Stands Farm and have a small youtube channel, my question is i noticed that you where using actual electric wire rolled up on the drop cord real i have often wondered about if this would work. is it difficult to roll up and use this way . i have been using the poly wire for a while but it is really expensive thanks in advance for your time
Hey there I'm also a veteran (Navy... I don't want to hear any wise cracks lol) recently bought a 20 acre farmstead in east Oklahoma(also have lease access to 60 acres of woodland) I had to spend more money than anticipated renovating the house. I am interested in getting into pasture pork any suggestions on raising capital for infrastructure and stock? Thanks love your stuff.
@@FarmBuilder I appreciate the quick response. I'm guessing 25-40k probably. I am spit balling but everything is so expensive the range above is probably naive.
How long will you leave your young stock in the training pen before moving them into a new paddock with out the cattle panels? Next step is just unelectrified netting and a hot wire.
Hi Jordan, Thank you SO much for your videos. I’ve learned a ton! What age do you start rotating piglets with hot wire? I’ve got my first piglets and I’m scared of neighbor dog and coyotes going after them.
Hey Jordan I was raise is in a commercial breeding hog farm. Out of It now. But starting my own pasture raises pigs. Where do you find the rebar electric fence insulators at? I’ve looked everywhere. Thanks from NENC
Over staying in a area destroys the plant cover which breaks down the ecoli bacteria harmful in drinking water Constantly moving the pigs or under stocking is essential if humans are to live in the area and drink the water

Found you thru jRhodes. Glad he mentioned you😊
That hay will absolutely do good things for the ground, I'm almost certain of it.

Its an extension cord spool available at most hardware stores. The wire is 15 gauge aluminum.
I also set up the 2 part fail proof net with inner hot wire. The nets are now sitting in a storage container and will be in next garage sale.
@@zaccorter78 hey Zac, so do you find you don't need he outer netting once you've got them trained to the hotwire properly? Thanks!

Where can I buy a couple of piglets?
What's your current target for pigs raised & sold this year? Any further plans for building a USDA processing facility?

Its simple and easy you just have to keep tension on it when rolling up so it doesn't spiderweb out.
Thank you I will give it a try that will save some money

How much capital are you talking?
@@FarmBuilder I appreciate the quick response. I'm guessing 25-40k probably. I am spit balling but everything is so expensive the range above is probably naive.
What breed do you raise?
Interest to know if you had any problems with parasites keeping them in one locations for a month at a time? Thanks for the video
We worm at weaning.
How long will you leave your young stock in the training pen before moving them into a new paddock with out the cattle panels? Next step is just unelectrified netting and a hot wire.
2 weeks.
Hi Jordan, Thank you SO much for your videos. I’ve learned a ton! What age do you start rotating piglets with hot wire? I’ve got my first piglets and I’m scared of neighbor dog and coyotes going after them.
2 weeks after training.
@@FarmBuilder thanks so much 🐷

Rod or round post insulator. You can buy them online.

Hi,how long you keep them before procesing?
Outstanding!!
Ahuh... So just a wire or two would not stand a chance without cattle panels?
I wouldn't trust young pigs with it.
Nice!
Nooice!
That's the way to do it.
I seeded that area before 🤪
do you sell piglets ? i am looking for them. Sent you email. please check.
I seriously doubt the hay will help stuff grow back, but please do report.
I have a test area we did over the winter that's quite lush now.
