Pigs will always test your lines...just to see if it still zaps. As soon as we thaw out here in South Eastern Ontario I'll be starting pigs for first time too. Don't learn if you don't do! Cheers, good luck!

Straw is better then hay for bedding. The hollow stalk makes it great for it's insulating quality. You already know by now that they bury themselves in it and stay toasty warm. If they eat it, just adds fiber to their diet and helps them generate body heat through the act of digestion. Straw is perfect.

@@FP1989 yes so I’m going with cattle Page wire there’s different kinds. This is 49 inches high. I guess that’s standard for cattle or horses. Alternatively, you would just use Barbwire or electric fencing, but Page wire is your best bet to keep things out and in, however, a little more pricey.

Suggestion for down the road (long down on the list of things you're doing), look into a Wireless Mic of some kind. Audio makes a big difference. I know Greg Judy's audience keeps asking him too, but he's too busy for that. ;) All the best

I found you through Greg Judy and I too have learned so much about herding about forage plants and how seeds survive in the soil it's a fascinating subject.

Hi, i just found this interview accodently. I'm originally from Cape Breton now living on the mainland. My brother in- law's half brother was Joe King who worked on the Eyking farm for many years. And coincidentally, I happen to be visiting my brother in- law at his cottage in Cape Breton today. Interestingly, the Cape Breton Highlands are actually part of the Appalachians mountains range. Best of luck to Jonah on his farm adventure and to the couple coming to our beautiful part of the world!
