We found 30 years ago that pasturing pigs was way better than keeping them in small pens. They are happier and they don’t stink!

Great lady! No nonsense, clever and fun.

We just raised Idaho Pasture Pigs last season and really enjoyed having them on our homestead. Besides the fact that they tasted amazing. We are now looking to purchase a few females for breeding purposes. Thanks for sharing! 👍

We just bought a 161 acre farm. Will def raise pigs. So glad i can pasture them.

Someday I'm gonna pasture some pigs. I have to wait until I can either convince my dad or he's gone. He HATES pigs 😆 Whereas I'm thinking we have nuts and apples that need cleaned up every year and I like BACON!

This was awesome, you need to help her write a small guide book. I'd totally buy it, even if it was just an Amazon E-book.

Great video! Perfect timing! We're setting up our pasture for our first time raising pigs right now.

[leeannadimoulas]

this is one of the most useful videos you have. thank you for this.

[CynBrown]

Great video. Her pigs look super happy.

We are just getting started with this old, neglected farm with a couple pigs, working up to a bigger area where that can also eat grass and not make it all mud. Lots of good ideas on what to do. Thanks.

We always referred to the 'crushing' problem sows had with their young, as "Pancake Disease"... Applied equally to sow and piggies.

I wish we could get IPP’s in Australia but we stopped importing new breeds decades ago. They seem so perfect for a homestead. Ahhh well.

Great video! Your approachable personality came through, engaging b-roll, and super informative! Thanks!

Nice. Once my pigs get bigger and can't squeeze under my front fence, they're gonna love the weeds in my backyard.
I can attest to the running forward! My piglet ran into a fence and was thankfully too fat to fit but got stuck halfway hanging out.

Great to know there is a breeder relatively close here in East Pa.

[ronlicari]

Have you ever sprouted the grain or fermented it? It digest more easily and doubles.

I love that she is doing the biosecurity. Very informative. I want to get into kunekune's, I understand smaller and grow slower (five foot tall and 115#s, smaller is better for me).

[candicechristensen]

Really liking these pig videos. Great information 👍👍

I found your channel through Syman Says Farms when you did your 1st interview with them. Loved the 2nd one, pigs q&a. So this was a really interesting follow on. Enjoying your videos 😁

[mysweet]

I plan on getting pigs soon. This was a very informative video! Thanks!
