Raising pigs on less than 2 acres

[@ky.gambler5281]

I know a lot of people that are psychologically trained by our GOV'T, same as the pigs..They don't realize you're taking care of them to keep your family fed. Really enjoyed the video..

[@steveholbrook4729]

in ky you have to have at least 3 pigs

[@CCRider5312]

Pigs 🐖 🐖 are loving that ! 😁👍

[@sherimcgill5139]

The goats look mighty healthy. The pigs are hilarious 😂 I enjoyed the music you chose.

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

Thank you. The goats are well fed for sure.

[@rubymontano1599]

Loved watching the goats with the pigs, lol, too cute 😊

[@marynchapman6257]

Your animals look so good, well cared for. Funny watching the pigs and goats giving each other the "what in the heck is that" look.

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

They are all spoiled rotten

[@marylott3076]

All the animals are doing good it seems. Love the goats!

[@denisemacdonald2062]

Good morning Stephen That was cute when the goats met the pigs 🐷 they were like “what is that!!!!” 🤣🤣😀

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

They stayed there for about 2 hours. Lol

[@AliceSoCal]

I enjoy watching the animal videos just as much as the cabin build videos. Thank You

One day at a time Steve!

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

Love seeing fog on a woodsy farm. You are looking health and getting some weight back on.

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

It is foggy up here about 4-5 days a week this time of year.

Nice job getting the Pigs their big pasture to roam Stephen. The Pigs have surely grown. Haha! The Goats are intrigued with the Pigs.

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

They are growing fast

[@dandaniels4558]

Goats are thinking. Guys they don't look like us.what are they and why are they here making mud holes LOL Pretty easy and quick way to fence in pigs. I watch other channels to and it seems rain if not snow is the one common denominator everyone is having problems with.just won't quit.one day it's nice and next is a rainy mess but the pigs lobe there Mudd so their happy and getting fat. Thanks stephan

[@amywoolcott7555]

[@glennrollins8422]

We hope all is well with you and your family. We miss your posts and pray that you aren't having health problems.

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

Everything is fine. I just needed a break from all the social media. I’ll be back soon

[@bobjoncas2814]

...lookin' good, nice work...

[@mariowickel456]

Hey Stephen, animals are part of homestead life too , hopefully the girls don't start wanting a horse .that's work lol

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

I grew up with horses. The answer is NO. If it’s not making me money or food it doesn’t have a place here.

[@deborahpinkey1264]

The goats sure are curious. Glad you could give the pigs a bigger pasture. Hopefully, you'll get those goats on their 50 acres soon. TFS

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

I hope so too

[@jerreyhiatte7644]

[@karenminckler4198]

You have any baby goats? I love watching them jump around.

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

Not yet but hopefully we will have some in a few months

[@bishopkinlyside8477]

Hi I’ve done a lot of fencing in my time and I’ve never ever used one of those springs unbelievable so good thanks for sharing your knowledge love your videos keep up the hard work love and appreciate you all Cliff from Logan City Queensland Australia

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

The spring and ratchet really helps to keep tension on electric wire especially going from cold seasons to warm.

[@TheJimcrooks800]

Great to see the pigs out in their wider world. Intelligent animals. But not so with chickens - do they get zapped if they touch the fence?

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

If they are wet or touch it with bare skin they get zapped.

[@jase5415]

Man you put a s-ton of work in to that place....mostly by yourself, it's looking really good !!!

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

Thank you

[@deannaoverstreet4146]

Your animals ar so beautiful! Well taken care of! It shows!

[@melaneymattson3733]

Did you say you were back working in Alaska?? Loved how the goats reacted to the pigs!

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

No I'm not working in Alaska right now. I just have too much to do around here.

[@ancimargarita2763]

what happened to the mama goat who was absolutely in love with you? it was so funny to see how she behaved when you were around! I like your animals, and i think that you are cool and calm with them, and that- makes them also cool and calm! I liked this video!!! (i like all of them, but well... i just wanted to say this one was great too)

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

She is still here and just as soiled as ever!!

[@armidaperez5360]

It's good to see they're doing well 😋

[@j.m.7056]

I love seeing your animals! So, did the girls finish naming the pigs?

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

[@davidkilbourne5422]

What kind of electric fence do you use? Was wondering is it a double braided wire?

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

No it is solid metal wire. I used the braided line in the past and it just didn’t hold up

[@LDhusky]

Do you lose chickens too the pigs?

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

The pigs get along with the chickens just fine. I’ve never had any issues

[@JCZ2601NL]

[@nicks7835]

50 acres for just the goats? Damn. How large is your property (if you don’t mind my asking)?

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

I only own 60 acres here but have access to another 50.

[@nicks7835]

@@hickoryridgehomestead9177that’s sounds awesome. I’ve been looking for something like that for myself. Don’t know if I’d do the whole farming lifestyle but I would definitely love the surrounding woods and wildlife. One day 🤞
