If you've ever dealt with pigs, you'll soon find out they are extremely skiddish in a new environment.. We'd move our pigs from a pen to pasture at about 80 lbs. Even at 80 lbs they're a handfull.. A trick we used was a bucket...we'd put a bucket over their heads & they'd try to back out of it. Thats how we got em on the truck & off. Bucket over the head..

[@Namdor2012]

Maybe measure that step up and build your own wooden ramp to fit it and a small one for the back of the trailer as well..If you put the ramps near where the pigs are raised then my way of thinking is they will be comfortable going through the maze....

If you take pigs to the farm in a trailer tractor you got to load the pigs in the trailer going to the cooking shop to see the man cutting up food and sausages Italian sausages Italy sausages you know the book about it's called the six Little Pigs remember the farmer loads the pigs up in the RV trailer and let them go on a special trip for everyone and make room for pigs when a farmer tells the pigs to go back to the farm after the field trip to the Dorman Farm Planetarium and and goes to back to the farm and without a farmer if you can't treat your pigs right you got to send them the time out and if you treat your pigs feed them some food make them grow bigger and make sure if you have a farmer at home please treat your little pigs I'm watching you in the eyes LOL.

I understand people are used to butchering animals because that's why they are raised in the first place. But boy seeing them off to the butcher, cowering together so close for safety and comfort, for me knowing they are probably going to be dead the next day. I couldn't do it so easily, especially if I raised them. I'll probably eat a salat tomorrow and try to get some of my ignorance back.

Never realized that there was so much loss with smoked hams. Myself i prefer just regular bacon and sausage that is seasoned right with sage. I guess to each their own, I'm the same way with salt cured hams, in my opinion that is a tradition has pretty much fell by the way side. 200 years ago they salt cured to preserve the meat. Today we have deep freezers and not much sense in my opinion of salt cured. Good video, thanks for sharing your experiences.

i couldnt watch this one. it was hard work and tired days on grandads farm, most of them time i was ok and cool about farm work and turned out to be quite the tractor operator as a young teen. until it came time to harvest the cows and pigs, then it was rough on me. my 5th year on the farm i got belittled by a relative about my shyness for animal harvesting and so i left the farm and never went back. my family inherited his farm and it was sold off and i got my share with no problems, but that side of the family and i are still distant from one another and im 54 yrs old. i have been shunned by that side of the family since i was 15 yrs old. its said commonly around my relatives, its Richies fault we dont have the family farm. i sold it. them people never worked that farm and had no prior farming experience - but im the bad guy.

You rotate between 3 different pig pastures. So each one is used a year and rested for two years. Do you do anything to the pastures after you move the pigs off to butcher? You said they are about 1/2 acre. How many pigs are you running each season? Love your videos. Learning so much!

[@waytruthlifedisciple]

If you slaughter at the same place every time, maybe consider making your own ramp and bringing it if they allow. I used to be in a band and we played some pretty small stages at first and we ended up building a stage extender that we took to venues with small stages.

Cattle prods are more humane. I worked for over a decade with pigs. I always shipped pigs first thing in the morning so I could use the light to my advantage. Pigs will move to wards the light and further if there is an air current it needs to be with them in the desired direction or else they will balk. You are right about the step down.that is a huge obstacle also. I hope you can use that information to your advantage. Pete is my name, pic is of my wife

really enjoyed your marketing breakdown. We're just a little farm so we just sell by the side and charge on the rail. that way even if weight is lost during smoking customers already pay for the weight on the rail and get what they are looking for. also agree on the butt portion, pulled pork if not smoked often just breaks down all the good stuff. here our kids demand their big fatty butt roasts. also bang on about working with your butcher about specifics as different markets produce different tastes, as our customers also prefer the smaller roasts and we like a bit of extra fat left on the chops.
