Setting the Pigs Up to Clear An Acre of Forest

With our feeder pigs off to the processor for harvest, there is a vacancy in our woodlots. We move our Gloucestershire Old Spot pigs from the pole barn to the woodlot.

    Pigs love the woods .. and .. they love water.. make mud and a little pond for them. In the Netherlands we consider that to be the pigness of the pigs..

    Justin you and your boys are hard workers. I remember the days when you never had a side by side or any farm Vehicle to help you, but you still moved the animals from pasture to pasture. Thank you for sharing your life with us. I’m inspired, you keep me motivated.

    Lily is such a cutie and a great worker. She's always there with her papa for milking, looks after the chickens, in the kitchen cooking and cleaning. Plus she has a great imagination when playing. Hope all the kids continue to enjoy this journey with their mum and dad. However I'm wondering when these kids get time to school. I know that they are all learning invaluable life skills but that academic side is so important to round them out.

    Justin, suggestion... Add a hot wire on separate short posts about 6-8 inches INSIDE the poultry netting. The double barrier helps with pigs testing the netting.

    I have to say, I don’t care for the way Dan edits Justin’s videos. I like the old format and the daily vlog without the “click bait” style thumbnails. Maybe the the stuff on abundance plus is more like the old stuff, I don’t know because $15.00 bucks a months is to much to pay in my opinion.

    You might try making the pigs a shelter in the new area and leave them in it for 24 hours before letting them out to their new area. A safe, comfortable, night sleep should help calm them down when you release them.

    breat to see you chipping away on clearing - you have resources to tap but it takes work - letting the animals to prep is not a bad idea but they may do better in land that has been cleared for a year or two - good you are testing all water and tapping alternate sources - a small ro system may be something to look into - do the homework and then the footwork and things will work out
