Doing Our Part | Managing Kudzu With Pigs

The kudzu is starting to take over our wooded acreage, so we are moving the pigs to a new paddock in order for them to graze and manage it for us.

LOL, good thing Buggie has big brothers! I led a perfect childhood thanks to my brother. He took me places when he hung out, and treated me with courtesy, even though there was a 5 year age difference. He taught me what to expect from a gentlemanly date and told me to expect nothing less than the best. When I came of dating age, he took aside the fellows and "eddu-kated" them on how to behave before he was allowed to leave with me. My dad worked two jobs six days a week, so he delegated this important role to my bro. I count myself as blessed.

[@journeywithnichole]

very blessed

[@deborah2302]

Wonderfully blessed!

[@annmatthews3579]

Hello beautiful hollars great to see you today

[@gloriabond123]

I jump whenever one of your videos pops up. I love y’all so much.

[@terrysandiego]

Me too.

[@Katmcali]

Just look at all those piglets! 🐖 So cute when they are little!

[@paulaelves5160]

buggy is defo daddies side kick, she is always in among it with him......love it xxx

[@alatsgardener6247]

My whole family gets so excited when you put out a new video. We love your family!! Thank you for teaching my teens about gardening. The garden they built from watching you has been a huge blessing. I never would have thought that growing our own food would help to heal my health problems, but it did. I am grateful. Thank you!! By the way, our neighbor asked permission to take pictures of the garden because of its beauty. Makes me laugh because we look like farmers in a Subdivision. But, the kids used what they had. My husband was always worried about what the neighbors would think. Now the neighbors are taking pictures because of the beauty ( a garden wrapped in a present of flowers and song birds in a small Subdivision backyard- and a healthy mommy). Thanks!

[@leekent3325]

Hi, I love watching your videos, you all work so hard! She definitely is Daddy’s girl, always by your side! The piglets are adorable.

[@carolbaswell5019]

I was literally aching to hold that precious baby and do what my husband's granmother called, "the grandma jig." It was a little back and forth dance that she swore by. She did with all 3 of our children. Ohhhhh how sweet!

[@gailmaree7719]

Here in Oz its winter.. we are freezing with a blast of cold nights.

[@eaccristo]

I always chose the runts in any litter I was shopping for. Best dogs I ever had and my cat lived to about 24. Pigs are adorable. So are all of you. ❤❤❤

[@deecooper1567]

Same here😀. They grow bigger than the rest of the litter. That’s what we’ve found anyway 👵🏻👩‍🌾❣️

[@debragonser745]

Grandma’s just getting all baby emotional when we hear that new born cry!!!!!!!

[@MichelleStubbings]

Buggie is such the big helper on the homestead, always ready to join in the fun. Hearing Ben call the baby "little parrot" was too cute....next summer Birdie and Buggie will be running around the farm together!

[@tammysarrazin-ux9tv]

Buggie seems to be growing up so fast now that she isnt the baby anymore so awesome to see hugsssss

[@debragonser745]

Little Buggie is disappearing before our eyes! A young lady is starting to appear! Get ready daddy! 😢😢😢😢

[@deecooper1567]

😂😂😂, Buggy’s gonna be a Heartbreaker 💖👵🏻👩‍🌾❣️

[@archaprice3372]

Her hair is adorable!

[@inabates8919]

Daddy and her brothers, lol I feel for future buggy, I have three brothers as well.

[@HappyHealthyLiving]

She’s so stinkin’ cute! Such a beautiful little soul!

[@parbatilakhan9159]

Her soul is bless and graceful .🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💕💕

[@jeb3415]

“Bucket of bribery.” Love it.

[@christinej2358]

Buggy has grown so much. She loves helping her daddy, just as much as her big brothers do. Baby girl is growing too. The heat of summer has definitely arrived!

[@deltorres2100]

Omg yess this heat is NO JOKE .,Tx I’m only doing early early in the morning and then I’ve been doing 730,8 at night at eight at night is so hot. I’ve been coming in drenched been so busy with my little garden. We’re doing home projects as well and then tonight I hear we’re gonna get really bad rain Hopefully I can sleep better. I’ve been having a hard time sleeping so much…💚🌱

[@deecooper1567]

It’s great to watch everyone work together to move the pigs 🐖 & set up the fencing again. Love this family👵🏻👩‍🌾❣️

[@brokenmeats5928]

I love ALL The Hollar Homestead videos!

[@adaseale1262]

I love watching you & your family on You Tube ❤❤❤❤🙏 ❤❤❤

[@territn8871]

All those baby American Guinea piglets are so adorable! They're black as coal! Elizabeth is so beautiful! I think she looks exactly like her big sister, Lillyanna!

[@dianevollmer3651]

Warms my heart to hear talk of Narnia

[@kimeverhart6253]

Your young man, out there helping you with his machete, in his bare feet…🫣 Your kiddos are awesome!

[@joannathatcares]

Is so nice to watching your channel. You guys are so loving people ❤

[@TheFamilyFarmstead]

Missed you guys. Thanks for checking in. Love seeing the pigs and all they do. I’m going to need some schooling on the whole clearing process. Buggy handling that runt was quite impressive.

[@kristyclay9182]

LOVE, LOVE , LOVE these vlogs! Only wish we got MORE but I do realize HOW BUSY you ALL are! The entire Family is PRECIOUS ❤

[@cynthiabolick3892]

Tks for video.Ahhhh loved seeing baby piglets and Buggie holding the runt, so cute. Really enjoyed morning feedings driving golf cart, use to have golf cart and they are fun. Liz is such a sweet baby and hungry....lol. Much love to ya.

[@sgrvtl7183]

So sweet to see the baby💖. Good Luck with your piglets☺️ the older pigs have done a great job clearing greenery in the woods!

[@bettyjorodgers8552]

Thank you for a great video. Blessings

[@patwilliamson4701]

Such a precious family!

[@iamkathyo]

Starting the podcast with Millie and Sketch just trolling along, lets me know "All is well"... Buggy is showing "Big Girl Traits" so great to see... All the little piglets, Mother Nature at her best... sure brings a smile... All those healthy young men... And then that beautiful, beautiful baby... We are all so grateful for your family and farm... And for sharing it with us too.

[@SandraNelson063]

Buggie is getting taller all the time. A taller Hollar! 😂 Ok, that was bad!😊

[@joanneganon7157]

Hey Hollers 👋, Happy Father's Day Ben 🎉❤. I sweet baby🤗. My neice had her baby that Thursday ! It's a Boy 🎉Van Thomas. We were born and raised by the harbor , salt marshes and beaches. Van means marsh wich is his back yard😊. JO JO IN VT 💞

[@alicegilbert4186]

Thanks for letting us visit

[@kimkramarski-smith774]

Needed the laugh from the "bucket of bribery " Thank You ! lol. The baby is getting big !!

[@patriciaherman6499]

Cute little piggies and always nice when the pigs clear off some more land. Exactly who doesn't like baked potatoes. I usually smash them after there baked slather on the melted butter, cheese and I add either chopped up BBQ pork, beef or chicken add salsa and sour cream yum. Ben, it's been almost a hundred w/ humidity around 70 ugh so I get up about 4:30 a.m. when it's about 69 and a slight breeze after 8 a.m. I'm in for the day but, then I'm old 😅. Elizabeth is so cute, well goes without saying so is Buggy and getting tall. Blessings to you and the family. 😊🇺🇲

[@lovechild6103]

Watching from Barbados 🇧🇧 hello Hollar family. Happy Father's day Ben.🎉

[@AngelaM-y4e]

Hello, that looked like so much fun! I haven't seen baby pigs for well a very very long time. On the farm when i was a child, pigs were my favourite. The mama pig used to let me scratch her back with a stick! I love the sound that they make! I remember them sticking their whole face in the wet feed my family used to make for them. Thank you so much for sharing. Have a lovely day!

[@reneeking6261]

Hello beautiful Hollar family. Love your channel. OMG…..Ben Bucket of bribery??? Lol 😂😂😂😂too funny!!!

[@carmenarmitage1799]

Good morning beautiful people

[@marking-time-gardens]

Thank you! Another great day on the Hollar Family Homestead! Blessings Kiddos! 🌻🐛🌿💚🙏💕

[@greenbankreptiles]

Buggy is growing like a weed!! Time be flying.. much love and respect to you all

[@southloupriverhomestead4696]

I bet the runt makes it. Ours always did. If somebody got laid on it was always a great big one.

[@LB-gr7gu]

Thanks for the extra work taking us along on your day .. Melting up here in Ontario Canada .. probably normal for you .. but heatwave for us.. 😂 Buggie getting fussy sweaty Daddy ❤❤

[@pnhnut]

I keep hoping that eventually you all will get a farm dog. You just can't beat a good dog for deer control, predation protection and security alarm when anyone shows up on your place. It doesn't necessarily have to be a LGD, but one who can happily live out in all weather. I know a certain lil Buggie that would be a great trainer :)

[@theresarogers5002]

Not rushing time but I can’t wait to see Elizabeth on the farm helping ❤

[@emyreotutar3187]

I love seeing the woods and the piggies,hi buggy❤

[@faithevrlasting]

Buggie certainly has a mind of her own.....Daddy and the boys will have their hands full w those two.

[@deecooper1567]

😂😂😂👵🏻👩‍🌾❣️

[@a.p.5429]

I so enjoy seeing parents who "train up a child in the way they should go". 🙏 and blessings to you.

[@prubroughton1864]

We had a tiny runt from a neighbour who was going to put it down because its litter mates had already bitten its tail and some of its ears off so we raised it. It became a bully and we had to be very careful feeding it (we were quite small) it made beautiful bacon 😅

[@gretaknebel8495]

Good to see all of the Hollar’s today!

[@debbieorazi2518]

Always love seeing baby piggies! Wow only 4 girls, that's going to be a lot of castration . Jason needs practice, get him to help. I can't believe how big Buggie is getting, she's just Daddy 's little sidekick.

[@kathleenschaefer7012]

I'm so glad the cart is electric, just nature sounds, so nice!

[@heatherk8931]

Your property is so mystical with all those beautiful green canapy trees and bushes❤ Lordy, lil piggy time again, the years are flying by!! And you're right Ben; who doesn't love a good baked tater?? Baby is looking rolly polley🍥❣. Another lovely video, thanks y'all 🎉

[@anniefraser2599]

Love piglets! Wish for more females next time! I am amazed at animal personalities in the animal kingdom! Thanks for your time! Always enjoy! Happy Days! 😄👏🤗🥰🙏

[@victoriaduvall6922]

She's her daddy's girl🎉🥰💐🕊️💖💝

[@JackieKing-k7e]

Buggie is a little cutie and very smart for her age

[@LadawnJohnson]

I love this channel, everyone helps out❤

[@francrawford3246]

Hello Hollar Family! Vividly remember kudzo while living in NC. Had a long dirt driveway and it would grow over it completely covering. Way too many spots where it was not controlled and it took advantage. It literally would grow halfway across in a day. The trees were completely covered, no tree could be seen. Glad I'm not battling that now.

[@hardenmama1800]

Great to see everyone doing well!

[@jrsf222]

Loved being here‼️ Beautiful family. The connection between father and daughter is exemplary‼️

[@highroad3580]

Afternoon is time to move inside ordinarily. Today temps dropped here to 80 with an 11 mile wind. Worked in the garden weeding, training vines and removing more tomato suckers.

[@gkiferonhs]

Hi guys, just feeding the algorithm.

Little Buggy is getting so grown up. Love watching buggy with the baby pigs.

💕💗💕🙏🙏🙏 Have a blessed day!!!💕💗💕

[@marshasmith6320]

I love your family so much! ❤ thanks for the video.

[@SarHje]

How is your extension doing? Still waiting for approval of your plan? Or has it been raining to much?

[@sherriekemper1828]

Such great kids, beautiful all of them.

[@maryavila571]

Beautiful little one, which is no surprise, Buggie is beautiful. Mayo in the mashed potatoes is delicious.

[@carissalizotte8977]

That looked like a real tasty meal!

[@kprairiesun]

Hey, I remember a delicious Mennonite buffet we used to go to had pork roast, pulled apart, floored and fried, maybe deep fried and it was so good. Another way to have pork!

[@debragonser745]

Congratulations momma piggies!!!!

[@Aliandtosha6689]

Hello everyone

[@archaprice3372]

I think runts are adorable, hope he makes it.

[@MrJabberewocky]

Hickories look a bit like pecans too.

[@marissashelley2362]

Ben...Al just bought 2 feeder pigs & 2 breeder pigs. He's using the same barrel & nipple system you're using. Next time you talk to him, you might want to tell him about your flag system so you can know when your water is getting low!!! 🌧️

[@rosanna8468]

Olive oil on baked potato is very good also. Always enjoy your video's !

[@dianatoo940]

Blessings 🙏❤️👍

[@carolkimbell5174]

Elizabeth is so precious!

[@PaulC001]

instead of sour cream on baked potatoes i've been putting onion dip on them. this has been going on for about 6-8 months and i'll probably keep doin it another several months. try it, you'll like it too.

[@PaulC001]

incase anyone is wondering "Dean's, French Onion Dip" is a pretty good affordable brand. "Daisy Sour Cream French Onion Dip" is good too, but a little more expensive (and fancy).

[@lillianperry6451]

Fun to see the baby pigs. They are so cute at that age.

[@virginiabaker2966]

What’s happening with the addition or did I miss the completion?

[@dorenemadrzykowski8426]

Please call her Elizabeth, not a bug, bird or some other nickname.....

[@angelawillis145]

Plankton!😂😂 Haven’t heard that since my son was little.❤

[@kristinejohnson4636]

What happened to the addition to your home? ❤

[@JoHarmon-hg7wz]

Love how Buggy, gets right in there to help outdoors and now in the house too, great parenting Meg and Ben. Little one is growing fast also. Boys are fine young men. What great loving family ❤

[@5GreenAcres]

Sunny pig knows to keep her babies cool in the dirt. Buggy is gorgeous!!!!

[@juleswins3]

Spot on with the heat! I’m looking forward to October.🥵

[@parbatilakhan9159]

Elizabeth will soon be on daddy's back🩷🩷🫠🫠💯💯🦋

[@1gr8lpta]

God gave you 4 strapping boys to work by your side and love the land. Then he gave you two willing girls to sweeten your life. So thrilled for you.

[@caryrhea3974]

The girl is a good berry eater. 😂

[@nancysimpson4246]

Buggy is growing up so fast hello Ben & family I always enjoy your videos. Thank you.

[@cathyneumans6685]

Oh my goodness! How fast can one little girl grow up!

[@sandyoklahomatransient8557]

The summer working outside hours are in effect for many farmers/homesteaders. That sun is hot, and strong. We don't need heat exhaustion, or cancer from the sun. Those Kune Kune's are so adorable, perfect size, and not as aggressive as other pigs.

[@mmurphy2317]

Jason...did you...Elvira🐽🐽🐷👀👍🤣🙂😆🙃😆

[@dixierobinson2606]

Hello! So glad to see another video.

[@dennisbentson823]

Using a machete barefoot?? Seems to me maybe a safety teaching moment!
