How much was the hanging weight of the pigs? Sounds like processed it was 639 pounds? Was that just the select cuts? Or did that include every edible piece of meat from the pigs?

Thank you so much for the break down. I know that your “ putting your private business” out there for others to see. And these days that’s rare. So many people want to keep that information close to the vest. As I’ve mentioned before, we are searching for a farm right now and pasture pigs are on the docket as a source of income for me. So. This video goes A long way for someone like me. Thank you...

Basically these big social media companies trying to extort money out of small business in the name of community standard, yet they're ready to let it slide past if they're getting paid.

Great video! I raised red wattle/ G old spot. I never held a 3 year old. I also used a fresh boar for the gilts. I arranged a stud boar piglet from another breeder early! I held back the best gilts to breed for the next go around. Most of my pork was sold before they even left for the processor. Great endeavor, and the best income on my farm.

No other business are allowed to silence you unless they are a publisher. Facebook claims they are not a publisher to protect them from lawsuits brought against them for liable claims or inciting violence. Facebook can’t have it both ways.

We would love to have a half hog or whole hog than when the time comes it always seems to be " not a good time" for them. I'd love to know more about your marketing. Do you have a usda butcher you use? Do you go to farmers markets? Is all your advertising on line?

If we are going to grow pigs out in a time that helps us be profitable, we have to supplementally feed them. They could get to the appropriate size on just pasture but it would take a long time to get there. Also, we supplement to make sure they are getting all the nutrients they need to stay healthy. Appreciate y'all watching.

The "pasture" part is so they get fresh grass (which they will eat), sunshine and a place to live like pigs like to live. Pigs are not grazing animals as such....they need protein to grow. In the wild, they eat a lot of acorns (and chestnuts back before the blight killed off the American Chestnut), grubs, fallen fruit, mushrooms, almost anything. Commercially raised pigs never see fresh air/sunshine....they are in houses from birth to slaughter, and fed a commercial ration only.

Don't forget the best part of pasture raised pigs. First they are in a low stress environment so they are not producing cortisol due to stress. Cortisol kills the flavor of the meat. Secondly they are being exercised by moving around the pasture building bigger and leaner muscle. Wich produces a Jucier tastier meat. It also makes the meat pink not white. Wild pork is actually more pink. Pork the other white meat. Is a slogan for commercial fed pork who are raised in concrete stalls or feed lots. Knee deep in their own manure. Exposing them to constant parasites and bacteria that can kill humans easily as well as your pigs. So they pump them full of chemicals and antibiotics to keep them alive. In turn we invest the antibiotics into our system all the time. This is what has lead to antibiotic resistant flues and viruses that can now kill people much more easily then they did 60 years ago.

How many paddocks is necessary for a group of pigs? I know it’s hard to give an exact answer considering different scenarios but does the paddocks require more rest then cattle pastures? If you rotate every week.

we are starting up a pig operation at my farm in the philippines, we sell them off at 3 months, that is the size that the people like to buy there for lecon. I am currently purchasing feed for them every three days, I am building a rat proof feed storage room. So I can buy feed in bulk. I am building more pig pens, to house the young ones, that are coming in a few months.

I'm not a pig guy (yet), but I've heard that prime time to sell your pigs is about 250 lbs. Are you getting a good price for your pigs at 335 lbs compared to selling at a lower weight?
@SheratonParkFarms
@SheratonParkFarms 3 жыл бұрын
After about the 5 month mark they put on weight fast. It pencils out for us to feed a couple extra months to get a bigger carcass which yields a better profit. After about the 325 -350 mark you are just adding fat.

Just subscribed... Tks for sharing the vid; question, the pigs are grass fed, obviously they drink water, my question is.. Does the pigs “need a shallow pond or muddy areas to be ok? Another, how do you handle their pee and manure?? Or they just move freely avoiding issues with manure and pee... Tks again 👌🏻. God Bless 🙏🏻🙏🏻

We do make some "wallow" areas available for them primarily in the summer time. They need it to help stay cool. We rotate them regularly to distribute their manure across a large surface area than if they were in a small, stationary pen. Appreciate ya'll watching.

This a good thing to start out on with minimal up front investing? We have 10 acres not doing anything and looking for something we can slowly add to year after year. Pigs seem a great way to slowly grow.

thanks for your videos. I just found your channel. Liked and subscribed. We over-wintered pigs twice. The first time we liked the meat. They were mostly fed a high protein grower pellet, but it was expensive. The second time we let them forage more in the trees. We did not like the meat at all that time. I can't remember the breeds they were, but they were pink.lol. In your experience, does breed play a big part in flavor and quality? I want to try it again.

So we do deworm using a commercial dewormer. We do it at 8 weeks old and then feed them out for the remaining 6-7 months. We aren't certified organic and have no plans to become certified.

Those things can be a real pain. You may have to consider using netting instead of single strand if you do pigs. Not sure if that would be helpful or not.

Labor alone, if you spend an average of 1.5 hours a day dealing with your pork enterprise for 6 months (30 day months), that would be 270hrs total. If you were to pay yourself as low as $7.50/hr, that cost of labor would be $2,025 ($4,050 at $15/hr). The great thing about scaling for pigs is that it's not terribly hard to scale production when the labor cost is going to be relatively the same (minus additional processing and feed trips), whether it's 3 pigs or 15 pigs or 50 pigs. I would love to see how the numbers are with a more profitable scale, cause $1000 in 6 months just isn't attractive. Regardless, loved your video!

Sometimes people just do it as a hobby and sell animals to pay for the feed and make a small profit. Going on a bigger scale would give bigger profits and/or losses if not planned properly.

How much land does it take to raise those 3 pigs? It seems like in The same 6 months you could get 3 rotations of birds done. So I would think that you could raise way more broilers on the same acreage. I know u do both so I'd be interested in a comparison. According to Joel's numbers if u process 70 birds/tractor and have 7 tractors/acre and sell each bird for $15 (which I think is cheap) then you could make $7500/acre/1 month rotation. Am I way off here? Thank you so much for your vids. They help soooo much

We have five pigs, butcher date is 1.5 months from now, and I’m wanting to try and sell one of them at least. Having a hard time finding someone and I’m just curious how you find people. Thanks and I’ll be binge watching the next couple hrs!

So start with family, friends and coworkers. Let folks know what you are doing and talk about the quality of locally grown food and how you are raising them. Also advertise on Craigslist and any other sale pages in your area. Find some folks who are doing vegetable CSA’s and have them pill their customers to see if some of them are looking for local protein. Finally you can have them processed and start a farmers market stand. Lots of demand for locally grown food right now. Appreciate y’all watching

No bother at all. We just put a free choice water bowl in the paddock with them that is on a float valve. It replenishes and fills itself. We don't try to train or teach them to use but they tend to learn from their mothers. They are smart animals and figure things out pretty quickly.
