Good morning Bud.

Very informative. My wife and I are both very interested. We are learning a TON of new information thanks to people like you who are passionate about sharing your experiences and thoughts. We recently bought 4 acres of ag zoned tropical rainforest near Hilo HI and are excited about moving and starting a rental property and sustainable farm enterprise. Many thanks 🌈😃🤙

They do! And they are very familiar with breakdowns on Foggy Mountain.

Occasionally feeding pigs fermented is good practice.. if you're mixing in buckets take a little out of some already fermented and place in helps proEach new batch kinda like sourdough bread it's speeds up the process

Love the grappler, It's worth it's weight in gold and then some!!! Thanks for the info. In how your handling your pasturized pigs!

You do a lot of pasture moving, what do you about your ground rod. Do you replace it every move? Pull it out of the ground and move it each time?

@SheratonParkFarms

Yes. I just use a green t-post that we pull and move each time. We drive it about 18 inches in the ground. Works fine as long as we don't get super dry.

How have you got on with the post office about your turkeys chuck, has the hatchery replaced them for you

@SheratonParkFarms

The hatchery has refunded us for the 20 turkeys that we lost. Thanks for asking.

@@SheratonParkFarms what has the post office done, my girlfriend had a postal worker charged Tuesday, i sent a valentines card for her 2 weeks ago from the UK allowing plenty of time, she went too see if it had arrived and the postal worker slapped her friend who went with her, all she why dont they look instead of saying there's nothing for her

What kind of huts are those in the paddock? Did you make them or purchased?

You say that you want to get more weight on the gilts before you let them breed, is there an approximate age were you would feel safe letting them breed and the same for the boers? Thank you

@SheratonParkFarms

Typically around the 6-7 month range. They will weigh about 325lbs and be about 80% of their full grown size.

Usally let gilts cycle twice before breeding kinda hit or miss breeding on their first cycle

Are you going to let all the boar’s breed the guilts or you going to let like just Hamlet this time and an other next time ? Good job. Looks like Dave is working out good . Todd

We will run the boars in pairs. Lester and Earl will be a pair and Jack and Hamlet will be another. 2 boars will do a better job of covering sows/gilts when they are in groups like ours.

@@SheratonParkFarms do they have a tendency to fight when run in pairs ? Or since they come into heat at once it doesn’t matter , just one big free for all ? Or are u figuring it out like me ?

My uncle is a hog butcher and for years he has had hogs and sows, male and female 🐖🐷🐽🐗 piglets, but he calls them 👦 🐖 and 👧 🐖.

Would using those green gates like you have in the past help alleviate those long paddock moves?

@SheratonParkFarms

I don't think so. They will get more used to it the more they move. We've been SO wet around here that we've not moved very much to try and prevent disturbing more ground than we have to and creating more mud. Our big gilts and sows know exactly what to do but they have lots of practice. Great question.

Should've been labeled managing property or debri
