The History of Hereford Pigs (on our farm)

- I love my Hereford Pigs! They were not my first choice, but I didn't even know about them when I was trying to figure out what pig would work best on our farm. If you aren't familiar with Herefords, they are a breed of pigs that were developed in the early 20th century right here in the Midwest. They have been a great pig for our farm, but we need to refine things going forward!
Thanks so much for watching!

We had a Hampshire Boar that was named Bo..I remember giving him a bloody snout one afternoon after school.. I went to do the evening feeding and noticed a bad place in the fence. I grabbed my claw hammer and some staples and went in the pen to make repair. As I leanned over to reattach the fence I felt something around my calf and Bo was about to chomp down on my leg I took the claw side of the hammer and raked it up his snout. He wasn't mean but he was territorial!!!!!
I love those pigs. Good video.
I have a hereford/duroc boar that I am going to base my breeding program on. Seriously thinking of going to only Hereford in the future. Right now my gilts are Yorkshire/landrace/duroc commercial type. Not fond of how lean they are. Still a couple months from breeding. Looking forward to following you.
Awesome. What kind of tractors do you have?
That was a great story. When I was teen a fellar we went to church with had a pig farm and I helped him off and on throughout the years. I got my love of pigs from there so when we were thinking about clearing out old pasture ground pigs were the 1st choice over mechanical, but we haven't started yet. On the list, just hasn't had it to the top. How many do you have on the farm at a given time to keep your rotation going?
What is your long term goal with pharrow to finish? I follow Jordan Green who has 60+ sows on 120 acres. How big do you think you could build with your market demand?
