Corralling piglets

Catching piglets in a forest/pasture based pork production model can be a difficult task! Here We show you a low cost, low stress, portable system to catch your piglets where ever your herd is.

[@Hope-sf3dk]

this is brilliant...i am gobsmacked at how calm the whole process can be....huge difference to how chaotic it is in a factory farm. still haunts me how violent people can be to these little tackers. one thing tho, just dont like how you call them dummies. :P

[@holisticadvocate7882]

I love your low stress management methods. Easy on you and easy on the animals.

[@FarmBuilder]

Thanks! Low stress is a big deal for happy pigs!

[@rodolfoplasencia4953]

@@FarmBuilder Yes, great intelligent method! Does any of you know who sells an acre in an agricultural area in Miami Florida? I'm trying to buy it.

[@tammysarrazin7078]

it didnt take long for us (justin rhodes subs) to make your channel jump from 8 k to 12 k congrats

[@jo-annlamberti1732]

Love your method of doing things.

[@deborahwhite5213]

Loved the last piglet narration! Good job.

[@encouragementlink4682]

The only thing missing is a good dog. (I know that might stir em up. I said a good dog.) To go around one side of the feeder & you the other. I once had the best hog dog in the county- according to my vet. He loved to watch her work. Love your videos & your methods.

Thats pretty cool low stress on the piglets cool system 😎

[@wallstreethomestead5979]

Great weaning process, very stress free on the pigs and the people. Thank you for sharing.

[@westarmtn]

Awesome video! Great humorous Narration!

[@heathertoman2234]

If you've never seen pigs fly, then you've never tried to use large square bales as a makeshift piglet corral.

[@FarmBuilder]

Whatever it takes!

[@jamesgow3593]

Pretty cool method of rounding up the pigs, low stress no commotion lol

[@WaynesAdventure]

Enjoy your videos. I love watching the pigs

[@glendasmith6151]

Thanks for the laugh this morning

[@33valleys28]

What do you do for predators ? Coyotes ? Eagles ? Bears ? Thanks.

[@caninedrill_instructor5861]

Another nice feature of a pasture based swine system is that you don't have to deal with mechanical manure spreading.

[@FarmBuilder]

For sure!

[@caninedrill_instructor5861]

@@FarmBuilder Is there less pig odor on pasture?

[@FarmBuilder]

Significantly less. Most days no smell at all.

It's nice to see someone with humor.

Hi! what medicines and how often do you give your pigs?

[@buffalopatriot]

About to wean my first batch of piglets so the timing could not be better. Thanks again.

[@FarmBuilder]

+buffalopatriot awesome!

[@nolig888]

your pigs are beautiful-! what breed / cross are they?

[@FarmBuilder]

+Shunami Waters thank you! We started out with a cross of Duroc, Hampshire & Yorkshire.

[@photon1972]

Great setup. We have essentially the same thing on wheels (OK corral) for cattle that almost completely eliminates the stress of working the animals. I will definitely be making one of these. Also, your milled lumber looks great. I grew up working a sawmill and appreciate good workmanship.

[@alysa10183]

If the pigs are short enough to get under the wagon shelter, why do you create the hoop on top instead of a flat top?

[@lorineidtinytoadplot744]

slick like budda ;) love your system

[@hectorperez7655]

great job !!

[@carolynconnelly3395]

Thank you for the information.

[@FarmBuilder]

Yes!! ha!

[@antonhuman8446]

Brilliant. Brilliant. Brilliantly practical!

[@patrickfleischer7420]

Sensible system. Learned a lot!

[@craigricci9144]

Great Video, what are the Dimensions of the panels? Thank you!

[@FarmBuilder]

34" high by however long you want them. I think these were 10".

[@02428able]

what kind of feeder is that, that you use? Make, manufacturer, etc. Cant seem to find anything like that around here

[@FarmBuilder]

Not sure, I got them used a couple of years ago. We also use some feeders from NASCO.

[@rusty7009]

soybeans and corn? GMO OR ORGANIC?

[@FarmBuilder]

GMO-free but not certified organic .

[@daenenpierce1567]

How old normally are your piglets when you wean piglets?

[@FarmBuilder]

6 - 8 weeks old.

[@gwackamoley]

Loved your story as you were surveilling the piglets LOL

[@FarmBuilder]

Gotta entertain myself somehow!😆

[@gwackamoley]

I don't want to ask if this piglets were yours but I already asked. Lol.

When did you castrate them?

[@zackscott8636]

Do you catch to neuter?

[@westwindacres5532]

Are your sows behind a hot wire?

[@FarmBuilder]

+West Wind Acres yes, we use electric fence to contain the sow groups.

[@westwindacres5532]

FarmBuilder so your piglets are sneaking under the electric to get to the corals, and the sows stay away.

[@FarmBuilder]

+West Wind Acres yes

[@Fearose]

[@dk9628]

Do you have problems with coyotes when they run free like that?

[@FarmBuilder]

+Danny Kanyo haven't had a problem. We've seen coyote patterns change to avoid the pig areas.

[@dk9628]

really. I thought they would be an easy target for predators.

[@ryangrider9607]

Does are very protective of their piglets when it comes to predators. I imagine the coyotes avoid them like the plague. A mamma sow is a grumpy critter!
