Reminds me of Grandpa Telling me as child they would turn there Hogs out ever spring of the Year And they would come Back Home the Winter For Feeding With a Whole New Half Grown Pigs . He would always talk about the unbelievable Size on them Hogs By Winter .

Never seen pigs climb up into a trailer that easy Chuck.

Thanks for sharing. I was thinking I had to clear trees from my grandfathers old hog pasture to get started. I definitely learned something!

Hi..... 🏡🎥👍👍👍

A lot of people don’t utilize their forested land. Until cleared, but you can put some good live stock and have it green the following season.

You guys sure do have some Beautiful land out there

great vid

This has been one of the most informative pig forest videos I have seen. As pigs are natural woodland creatures, what are your thoughts on not giving them feed? I am interested in very sustainable practices and no feed seems sustainable. I under they may not thrive to make a super profitable venture, but I don’t think they would die in there. I am fascinated by permaculture Mark Shepard’s method of STUN - Severe Total Utter Neglect. The creature has to make it or they don’t. But they become part of the land and its ecosystem. People tell me the same thing for chickens (another original woodland animal).

Chuck, you might want to consider a ram pump since you have the creek to move your water... Now if only I could learn how to make farm videos to show case my. Hereford, Berkshire , duroc/Yorkshire piglets farm???

Being out in the woods with pigs smart too move them to a natural Environment .

Super video...I really need to do something like this. Can you give us an update on how the pigs are doing and any challenges you are having with the new setup? Thanks

If you have a pig that's hard to move just put a 5 gallon bucket over its head and you can steer them backwards. Easiest way to move the big ones if feed doesn't work.

Put a pipe up stream and you won't need a pump

Just now got to see ya video and it was great love the content and I do things similar to ya keep up the good work and stay safe out there

Do you farrow in the woods? How do you keep the baby piglets in the paddock?

Your doing something right.

Thanks. We are trying. Appreciate y’all watching

very nice.... letting them express the pigness of the pig!!!

that was smooth sailing.

What if you laid a scoop or 2 of gravel where you cross that creek? Wouldn’t water still flow over? Just make it easier to cross?

You will have to keep an eye out on your wire fence for deer running and breaking it and knocking it on the ground. Nice job.

I appreciate the work that must go into filming while you work, I enjoy watching your progress.

Have you lost any pigs to predators? How did the woods look after the pigs were there for awhile? Thanks

You should looking a ram pump for the waterer for the blue butts.

Absolutely love it!

Chuck. Come summer u might want to have that water check..I did the same thing my sow keep getting worm...the water holds parasites.in the hotter months. Just something to think about.hope u all have blessed week...

We have been enjoying y'all's videos for a couple years now. We actually lived in Greensboro for 15 years before buying land in Randolph County around Asheboro. I know y'all are around Wilksboro now. I learned a lot from your videos that came in handy when we got our first 2 pigs this past Spring. We harvested them a couple months ago. Keep up the progress. May God bless you and keep you. -Byron @ Carolina Hill Country

Love it when a good plan comes together. I think your animals cooperate so well because of the demeanor and calmness they are treated with. Great job!

You could build a ram pump which is just a series of check valves to pump the water up from the creek, they are really neat and don’t require any power except running water and they can pump water up hill.

Jaime and I just watched this and the big screen TV. At the same time we both said “I want to see the video of retrieving them from across the creek at 300lbs or better!🤣 nice work! Use all the land you’ve got!

Awesome videos,,,,,and love that music,,,,,, if you guys ever fool around with 100% berkshires let me know becouse that's what I hsve decided to get into.....and what's your opinion on berkshire??? Good & bad

Pigs in the woods works, had my property logged about a year ago and my pigs keep the under growth ate/rooted back win-win for both of us.

Works great so far. Access is going to be a challenge but we’ll get there.

With the flow you have in that creek, and if it is continuous, you could use a ram pump to go up the hill

you could look into making a RAM PUMP to move water out of the creek with no power at all

The ladies do come up with sensible ideas more often than not. I don’t know if I would use my new dewalt for that. But still a good idea

What a beautiful creek. Praise the Lord for how smoothly the transfers worked. Have you thought about putting flex pipe into the creek higher up and letting gravity deliver the water to your barrel? The problem with my idea is that to keep from creating a mess of a wallow from the overflow you would also need a large exit tube high in the barrel to let the extra water flow back into the creek. Maybe my idea is too complicated.

Excellent work 👍👍👍 . Thanks for sharing

I've really been wanting to run my pigs down in the woods but I can't get them to stay on single strand wire good I only have luck with the poultry net

I like how u took credit chuck but we all know them pigs did exactly as Saundra told em!

I love it when you have a plan and everything goes just right I think it just makes the day. Those pigs should just love that area and I agree I don't believe any animal should be pinned up in small quarters and never see the sunshine or get the fresh air

Thank you for teaching me and also inspiring me! Much Love and Light ♡

Will you do a video on what you feed your pigs? Trying to cut costs down on my farm, and looking for some new ideas

Awesome video I'd buy pigs from that farm again they seem to grow good be healthy and are eysey to handle deff good genetics and we're raised well up to the point you got them ..

Thanks for these videos! I’m behind a little on watching with all the work we’ve been doing at the house. We want to have pigs in our woods soon and this info is great. Hope to get out and check out your new place. Happy New Year!

Awesome thanks for sharing. Keep us updated on how it works out please. I have similar land with the same goals of raising pigs. Probably not too far off from where yall are at. God bless.

What breed of pigs are those?

Chuck I was wondering how pigs would do in leaves? We have 10 acres & its all fenced off red brand field fencing...5-6 acres will soon be animals hopefully

How you going to catch them when it’s become that time? I am working on fixing a place to put mine in the woods. I am trying to figure out the loading before I start running fencing. Going to do a few paddocks in woven wire and one bigger on will be electric fencing. Woven wire for the boards, farrowing sows and one for the problem pigs. The electric fence will be for the pigs that can act right and stay in

Every time the wind blows going to have to check fence !

When we start a new paddock in the woods, we add orange ribbon in between the sections in order to get the pigs used to seeing the boundaries.

That is a clever/nice transfer trailer. Did you make it or have it fabricated? Need to get some plans out on that. Great video.

No. It wasn’t that deep.

That couldn’t have worked better if you tried?

Your videos would be even better if you upped your voice volume or lowered your music volume.

Chuck, I wanted to suggest a possible idea for your water situation at the creek. Perhaps a boat 12 volt bilge pump and PVC piping to the barrel. Pretty inexspensive and movable if you dont glue the pvc together. Best wishes, blessings.
