We Are Making Some Changes

[@JerryHall-d8l]

Jersey's were all we ever raised when I was growing up. For butcher - didn't milk. Delicious

We have our pigs trained to only cross the fence when we throw an old door mat over the wire and flatten it on the ground...like a drawbridge...if they see the doormat they get super excited because they know they get a fresh paddock 👍

I can’t believe you are going into 3 years on your farm. Time passes quickly.

[@maryegerton6848]

This was so interesting! And those little piglets were like little puppies ❤ So darn cute! You are very good at your job. I always look forward to these videos. Well done!

[@brendablake8264]

Everything has its seasons. Your pigs did a wonderful job clearing all the brambles and junk out of your 1st pastures. But now that's done, left you with great places to move other things into. On to new things...

Just subscribed to your KZbin channel! Wonderful video. It’s truly inspiring for our little Irish homestead journey.

[@mariposavioleta9007]

Totally understandable that you want to have a different breed that is better suited for your needs after trying with the Idaho pasture pigs. That's part of life and farming you looking something and try it and if not what you actually need then you try something new and hope it works out better. Looking forward to what the future holds for you as a family and the farm

Life on a farm is constantly evolving, but you are always learning along the journey about your land, and what is going to make it better ❤

[@katrinagarland5219]

I learn so much from your videos and enjoy how you explain everything in detail for us 'newbies'. Great channel!

Hey "Papa" Yup, now we can officially bestow on you the title of Papa !!! I've seen several of my Homesteaders raise pigs from piglets to finish. Different breads than the Idaho's you are passing on soon. Some of them were "Lots of Feed and Work" Which turned out to be cost prohibitive, so they all went to market in the end. You've done a really good job with your animals, and that is commendable. With the baby coming, I think it is wise to figure out how you are going to keep animals and raise a family, Yes ?? I am sure Rosie's next calf will be as exciting as the first one was, with the little twist in breed, as you said. The homestead is coming along, and you and Ashlyn are perfecting your methods and practices. It was a steep learning curve, but I think you both did really well. We are proud of you both, I am sure everyone would agree with me. And now we wait for the arrival of "The Pastured BABY !!!" he he he he he Christmas is coming, the pigs are getting fat, please to put a penny in the old man's hat !! (Points if you can name the film, this altered snippet comes from!!)

Same boat with the IPP's. We ultimately decided on the Berkshire (8) gilts and Duroc (2) gilts.

I raise hogs years ago . An we always keep them in a 20 ft X 20 ft barn . An feed them the corn we grow on the farm . The Corn after harvest was taken to the gran elevator . Where we had it growned down for feed , . One time my Ex told my dauahter she could have 1 Calf for her and 1 for or son . She wasn,r raised all her life around farm animels . So when it came time to butcher she wouldnt eat any of the meat because she concedered it her pet cow . I,ll never for get once when at a IGA she seen a cow tong in the meat deparment an said that might be his . LOL .

I have been raising pigs for 6 years. I have 10 acres. The best pig I have ever raised is American landrace. Whit that being said, I have an American landrace sow she absolutely amazing and I have an American yorkshire bore. I breed the two and now have a cross of 11 piglets. The American yorkshire is just over a year old and is still skidish and runs from me when feeding but my sow is right at my side as soon as she sees me. The piglets will be 2 months old on the 12th of this month and they come right up to me and let me pet them and they will even go as far to let me pick them up. They are extremely friendly and quiet. They are not noisy or loud the root but don't put giant holes in the ground. I do not rotational graze them either the pen they are in is the pen they stay in and they love it I have 3 separate pens and each pen is a 1/4 - 1/2 acre. They are on electric fence and they do not get out.

I was watching your videos about leaving Washington state.. I was wondering what you think about the land and what you see in Isabel Paige's video's.. which makes Washington seem like a nice state, and I thought about visiting it.. but because her videos are so engineered to make it seem nice.. that maybe that's not the reality.. I think she lives in the far North.
