good video!

or you can just feed them then look at their poop

how does your water barrel work?

Awesome and thoughtful video!!!!!

Execution day? What the fuck? I've never heard anybody refer to butchering or harvesting day as execution day. That sounds twisted.

Do you have a gate on your pen?

One way to tell if a hog has worms is if his tail is straight instead of being curly. If it is that hog has worms . One way to fix this or how the old-timers did, is to throw some coal in with the hogs. The coal will kill worms . Luke

TY for the great video on Hogs.

I know someone that gives her pigs Rosemary, garlic and the white food grade DE.

Great video! I just have a question....how do you handle any possible emotional attachment to the animals, especially when it comes to harvesting?

great video. I know a cattle farmer who feeds the cattle a "hand full of feed every now and then" so that on the day of harvest, all he needs to do is carry a little bucket of feed to the field, pick out the one he wants, shake the bucket and the cow follows him back to the area he uses for that purpose. No adrenaline rush into the meat, no stress on the animal. Makes great sense. And don't we all enjoy "some attention"...even our critters.

the piggies are looking good!! thanks for sharing

Very cool pigs are looking good. God bless brother
