Try putting a pallet or sheet of plywood where you want them to cross. Then when you want to move them take it down and they will see that the physical barrier is gone and are way easier to move.

I’m from Florida but living in a nursing home in Brandon Mississippi I watch you to live vicariously through your blood sweat and tears! Thanks chuck

[@nedhill1242]

I’m Ned, from Charleston, SC. My mom grew up on a farm that was over 1000 acres of farmland where my grandfather raised soy beans, corn, and cotton. Anytime I didn’t want to cut the grass when I was a kid my mom would start telling me stories about picking cotton as a little girl. Naturally I would go cut the grass. Lol My grandparents also raised all types of animals but that was more to be self supporting because the cash crops were the revenues. I loved sitting in my grandfather‘s lap to drive the tractor when I was little. There were also two large farm ponds that we used to enjoy. And of course we did plenty of hunting on the farm. Ducks, squirrels, deer, rabbits, turkeys, quail etc. I’ve always wanted to have my own farm and Homestead and for the past year or two I have been watching a lot of KZbin. Discovered your channel about a week ago and have been enjoying it. I’m employed as a mortgage broker so I can move inland and buy farmland in South Carolina and still have my day job while living on the farm. I’m already looking at land to get ideas and hope to buy a piece of property sometime next year. Regarding your pig problem. The pigs not wanting to go where that electrical wire was strung. That is a major problem. Justin Rhodes has a great video filmed on Joel Salatin‘s farm Showing how they move their pigs. They use a wooden fence gate in one section of the paddock. The pigs will rub against that to scratch themselves and know that it is not electrified. When they are ready to move the pigs to the next paddock they open that gate and the pigs will go right through.

Western Australia - just got my first 2 pigs.

Hi..... Thank you 🏡🎥👍👍👍

[@hopewellfarmer5332]

From South East Ohio we have a 3 point carry pen on tractor we just drive into the paddock put the feed in it and wait doesnt take long for the pig to go in to eat and i shut the door and haul them to the nxt location

[@thomaswatson1100]

Be happy your wife helps mine wants nothing to do with my cow's pig's or chickens and I'm upstate ny

[@CoastGuardLeo]

I'm a total city middle-aged guy with a pet lizard here in Portland, OR. I watch because it's interesting to see how you guys do things, and I respect you for it.

[@chrisbergeron860]

Im from central Louisiana and grew up having grandparents who farmed chickens 'n cows. I love just watching yall run your farm. It reminds me of days gone by when we helped with chores. It just kills me every time I watch yall try 'n move or load pigs. Lol

[@brianblackburn5238]

Let start off by saying I have no experience with pigs, but this is what I would do if I were trying to move pigs. I would make the alleyway more narrow and have one of y’all holding a pig board while following behind to prevent him from turning around and going back the other way. Good luck on getting Hamlet moved. Can’t wait to see how y’all get it done.

[@mikka811]

I’m from Eastern Ontario just next to the NY State border hey! Just a farm kid that grew u In age in the corporate world and missing the farm every minute! I raise Beagle and own over 50 of them. I train them to run rabbits and put them in trials in Canada and Northern states.

[@karenfrye805]

From Ohio Just getting started with 60 birds can't wait to get into pigs!!! Love your show!!

[@Big_Guwop713]

you had me dying saying Sandra wanted to play linebacker, she had a good stance tbh. Only reason I'm laughing so hard is because I went through the same thing with a new manglista boar I got but I got down on the ground and wrested w/ him. Sandra is a tank!!

[@verncook1528]

I did just laugh when he took Saundra out she was doing a good job of cutting him off! You need some small plywood to heard hogs

[@dione.c.3432]

G'day from Northern Australia. When we want to move a single bull we get a small mob of cows and put the bull in with them and then move the whole mob. The bull herds with the cows like a little lamb with no issues. Maybe I'm talking through my hat here but...separate Hammy with a hot wire within the boar paddock and then herd the gilts down the laneway and then move the whole mob back to the gilt pasture. Works for bulls. Might work for hogs.

[@stavabrumley2315]

Hello from Oklahoma, I am just getting started raising pigs and trying to learn as much as possible

[@amberadair190]

Hope she is okay! I have experienced that more than one occasion. I do appreciate that my daughter trained our pigs to a show whip which makes moving our big boar easier

[@kevinnicholson5556]

I’m in Hillsborough about 30-45 minutes away from you. I just raised my first two hogs this year. I enjoy the content and have learned a lot. Thank y’all.

[@caseman8214]

From central Illinois. Just got my first pigs a month ago. Got 5 of them to raise for us and family. Also got a few laying hens

[@roberto.peterson9917]

This just shows that that some hard and fixed lanes and holding pens have a place even with free range there comes a time for moving ,loading , or just working them for health , and ect

[@edwinfaglie941]

I had to laugh....true farmers. Wife just takes a header into the ground and husband quietly ask 'you alright' as he walks by. 😅

[@richiebrashears7095]

I am from East Tennessee. Grew up on a small farm. We fatten out a couple of hogs a year to kill around Thanksgiving at papa's farm. Love your videos.

[@waynewhiteday8431]

We live in rural Oklahoma we have pigs and chickens and rabbits. Y’all need to use moving boards for the pigs make things alot easier love y’all’s videos keep on keeping on

[@denmillheritagefarms2168]

Harry, I'm retired in Thailand, considering raising pigs up north in Chiang Rai and love your channel!

[@markstelson8582]

I wonder why you dont have any pig board. It’s a basic tool & worth every penny.

[@billhall6738]

Your very lucky that he did what he did. I've seen them go 3 days with no food before crossing where a wire was. Enjoy y'all

[@christymartin9404]

We're in Yadkin County, NC & have a small homestead. We have chickens, ducks, quail, pigs & one tom turkey (he's getting a girlfriend soon). I love the way you use electric fence for your pigs. We used electric fence for our feeder pigs & love it. The pigs we have now are rescued potbelly pigs & the two females had litters about three weeks ago. We're trying to find pet homes for them as they are very sweet. If not, we might keep them as breeders for feeder pigs. I know potbelly pigs aren't very big but there's only three of us so they'd be a good size for us to process on our own. I'd rather find homes for them but if not, they'll have jobs on our little homestead. Thanks for great content 👍

Hello from Mississippi. I have a few pigs and when I watch shows like this, I realize I don’t want to expand. 🤣

[@MissieSauder]

Ervin, Sterling Alaska . Have hogs wanting to do more . Tip for moving hogs, take a hog panel , make it in a tear drop shape and tie the ends together. Then drop it over the pig and walk it where you want it to go. May need a person on each end

[@johndeere8280]

I'm from Lisbon NY. Just started getting into homesteading. We have laying hens now. Getting ready for pigs next spring and meat chickens and going from 10 laying hens to 20 or 30.

Good luck with your effort. Thank you for sharing.

[@tcook564]

From Utah former pig farmer love watching your videos.

[@philbledsoe9091]

Watching from Indiana. Subscribed after watching a couple videos. I raised hogs in confinement in the 80s. I never thought it was the right way to raise an animal,and always thought the way you are doing it would be so much better. It put food on the table for my family, and I only did it for three years. I agree with the commenters that say you need herd boards and an actual gate to move them through. Once a physical barrier is removed they will usually move through. If you’re trying to move them where a hot wire was they are hesitant. I hope your wonderful lady is ok. I still have a knee injury that haunts me from 34 years ago by doing something similar. I tried stopping a 220 pound gilt trying to get past me. It kept going and took my knee with it. So please be careful.

[@robertduree1177]

Interesting been on The rear end side myself from weatherford Oklahoma when a pig moves threw you more times than not your going down got a good chuckle though

[@Mountainport]

If you have to get a pig to cross the fence line, I've found putting down a piece of plywood or even a pallet helps then to get over their fear of the electric fence.

[@williampatterson9570]

We are from Just Grow For It Farm just up the road from you in Bullock, NC! We just had a farrowing with our American Guinea Hog and we kept the boar in with her the entire time! They are always together! Tried to separate last time and they were both so miserable we gave up! He has been awesome with her and the babies!! VERY protective! Good luck with the next try!

Neat trick for u if u see this make a wood gate 5 foot wide and a pipe hinge that u just pound in the ground in one spot on your pens they know that that spot won’t shock them and they never have a problem crossing we’re the door was at

How does this work? Do you run the electric fence behind the gate?

Well, been there and done that. I believe using a stock trailer and gates would help. Let them get hungry, feed in trailer. Boars are super strong, and can hurt you bad. Praying she is ok.

What is your Hampshire boar crossed with? Hampshire have a white belt and upright ears, nice boar looks like he might have Duroc in him.

[@masonmcknight5866]

You could do how Joel salatin does it, I install small wooden gates on each Pattok, because the pig will never cross if there’s been a hot wire, but with the fence, he can rub on it and touch it, so when it’s gone, he knows he can pass through safely.
