Giving the pigs more space. Making the pig pen larger with electric fence.

- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- Today we are installing electric fence to expand the pig area. We are planning to more than double the size of the pig pen. We are using 3 strands of electric wire. We had already trained the pigs to electric fence inside the of their existing pig pen. So this should keep the pigs inside.

Hi..... Thank you for sharing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🎥👍👍👍
Nice to see you wife has the right type of foot ware. My wife wears flip flops all the time . No matter what work we do. Gotta love it.
yall are so much fun to follow and i am not going anywhere.......g
Glad to hear others call it supper,I was raised calling it that,I’m an old granny 84 years young lol...
the dog was not moving, lol the pigs are going to love that spot.
those are happy happy piggies
Pigs and goats keep the brush cleaned out. Love the ole dog.
They will love that!
Such a peaceful setting, a relaxing coffee break video. 👨💼👨💼
Thank you for the entertaining video. Art
Thems going to be some happy piggies 🐖🐷🐖🐷👍
Poor comet. First he has a grass shower then the pigs take his favourite resting spot.
But the pigs are going to love all that space.
Looks great. Keep moving to those places you need to open up.
just decided to raise some pigs..or one or two... hate the industrilized way, this farming stye really inspire me
Great day for pigs. Hard work for you.
your ole dog just loves work.
He could watch it all day long :)
Hi there
Keep on growing
Good job have good day 👍👍👍
Nice you will have a new garden spot once those oinkers get done rooting that spot up.
After they clean it out a bit you can chop down some of those small trees you don't want and they will eat them too. Throw an old basket ball in there and they will play with it too, just make sure it's doesn't go flat or they will rip it up. Looks great!
Great video guys👍
Very nice! Where did you get those rebar stakes at or did you make them? Keep on with the great videos, you're a few years ahead of us in the dream!
Good job Evan. Is there any fuel in the tank
There is no fuel in the tank. I thought that I might fix it up one day.
Good expansion.
I found out today from #LIVINGTRADITIONSHOMESTEAD that pigs love marshmallows!
Y'all are ate up with good size sassafras in Southern Illinois.
Poor Comet, first he gets blasted with grass then gets shocked....he should get some cookies!! Good dog!!
Was just gonna say the same thing. He also lost his favorite spot, poor boy :((
If I believed in reincarnation I would want to come back as one of your animals😁
Just the dog !!
Why don't you have a waterproof box for your electronic controller? Just about everyone else I watch has some cover over the stuff to ensure it stays nice and dry.
Pigs are smarter than dogs. Don’t let your wife spoil them too much and get attached or you’ll end up with pets instead of pork.
Evan, were you looking for clean "pigs"? Lol... your a farmer get in there n get muddier with them...
bonjour , you install that like a pro .
Poor Comet. I bet the pigs will make short work of that new area.
What type of electric fence do you use for your pigs?
What height are you setting the wires at?
Great job hope they don't ruin you blackberry tree
Very nice. I would love to get some goats on our property once we are there full time (only have a small 18 ft. camping trailer there now). Animals can certainly clean up and clear some areas. I don't have a whole lot of experience with electric fencing. Do you plug it in or is it somehow solar?
This fence charger can be plugged in or ran off a 12 volt battery.
@@CountryViewAcres I would probably run it off of a 12V battery and look into some kind of solar setup for it.
Steve Martinez our fence separating our equines from the garden is solar, but we have used 12 volt batteries and swap them out for recharging.
@@cathiwim I used to work for a solar company and one of the things that I developed for them was a system to charge the batteries in place using solar, and if the solar system couldn't keep up it would trigger a generator. The whole key is in the batteries (type and size) and my design could be modified to use "plug in" power rather than a generator. I'm not exactly a "green" type of person, but I'm all about saving money. If solar can be incorporated with "regular power" to me that would be the way to go. I just might come up with something for the average homesteader to use if I can keep the cost down. Now I'm thinking.......
My hogs won't stay in my wire fence. They go right under. I'm getting about 4kw i don't know if that's not enough for them.
You have train them on hot wire inside a real fence first. Once they learn to stay away from it. You can put them out in an area with only electric fence.
What are your plans with the pigs?? They’ve got to be over 40 pounds already. Judging by the looks of their size
I will take the pigs to the butcher when the smallest one is 250 pounds.
I think you did those corner insulators wrong. We always tied them to the corner post through the center holes in the insulators & ran the fence wire on the ouside curve. Basically the opposite way you did the wires.
The reason I did it that way, is so the electric wire is captive and impossible for it to touch the wire attaching the insulator to the metal post. If I did it the other way, if the wire became loose it could fall off the outside of the donut shape and onto the wire holding the doughnut, thus grounding it out. I did use it opposite than the way it is shown.
I totally understand that. We have "tied it together" on the inside of fenced in area before to prevent something like that.
Poor doggie gonna miss her shadie spot .
YOU DONT NEED ALL THAT WIRE, I USE ONLY ONE WIRE 10 TO 18 INCHS off thhe ground, i ajust it as they get bigger
I'll take the fuel barrel !!!
they eat grass?
This was not informative for the newbie who needs to know what you were doing and how you were doing it. It would be more helpful if you explained what the black items were on the T-posts, how you tied the wire all together, how do you get into the pen without electrocuting yourself, how do you connect to the energizer, how deep is the grounding rod, etc. I have looked at numerous videos on RUclips that promise to tell you how to put up pig fencing but none, so far, have actually walked a person through each of the steps....Very disappointed.
