Silvopasture Pigs - 2024 Paddock 3 initial walk (and a pig gets Zapped!)
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
Paddock 3 is lush with tall grass, berry bushes, and lots of opportunities for mud holes. The pigs are busy exploring their new space and should be able to remain in this paddock for 4 to 5 weeks.

Glad it brought you a smile!
is there any "smart" system you can attach to your fences that can tell you when it is no longer live if it gets grounded. or do you have to manually check all the time?

If there is a "Smart" system I am unaware of it. Checking is easy though and I check the pigs multiple times a day so it is a simple thing to keep the tester in my pocket and just check. The pigs don't typically challenge the fence so it would likely contain them even if it failed, but I like to be safe!
That looks pretty much like hog-heaven. What are those huts made from? & hoow come they don't chew/em up & mangle' to rubbish? I've been asking why noboody's used thos paddock system too rear up all those little's than get trapped & shot coz nobody can be bothered too raise'm up to a size worth butchering? Do the feral ones actually STOP growing when they reach 100 lbs or thereabouts?

As far as feral hogs I cannot say since they are not prevalent in my area of Pennsylvania (near Hamburg). The shelters are just calf shelters that we use when they are piglets. Once they hit 50 lbs. or so they choose to sleep in the woods and don't really bother with them anymore.
