Kid me: “Cool, a farm”
Adult me: “YAY! They actually get to live outside and have space to move!” 😃

Jordan, love what y’all do. Looks good. I know from personal experience these are real numbers because we were raising and selling wholes and halves for $3.99# hanging weight. It is achievable with a little hustle. And yes, hard work but worth every ounce of sweat, every blister and curse word you have to put in. Great job!

Hello. It's great to see your setup. And I am impressed with your aim toward farming and vets. I'm new to your channel. I'm sure you've been asked this before. I've not gone through all the comments. I have begun a run a small acreage setup. What is your preferred overseed mix?

[danmyers]

Great content. Thanks for sharing and inspiring. Was wondering, how hot do your keep the internal wire? 3K volts?

[oldWanderer]

Im surprised you havent started to find ways to process the pigs yourself.

A passel of pigs,
A sounder of swine,
Either one perfectly fine,

Or call them a drove,
Or even a team,
They don't mind, so it would seem,

But best stay away,
If they're called a drift,
That name, it will, leave them miffed,

Albeit OK,
With Oxford's English,
It, they would, soon relinquish,

But agree they could,
Thanks to Merriam,
Behold, it's agrarian.

Ive watched like 10 videos and im completely sold
On starting my own but i just need to know does the processor also buy the pigs from you? I understand the numbers and weight etc but will i always have to find private buyers?

[HumbleHavenFarm]

Thank you for your great tips! Last year we tried raising almost half of our hogs (6) in the neighbor's woods with just a solar panel electric net. The pigs were constantly escaping. This year we will be expanding the number of hogs we're raising and, thanks to this video, hopefully, be making some changes to our fencing. Keep up the good work!

[MistressOP]

Hmm, I wonder if 1 line will work on goats if it's done like this. You put them into such short pasture. If you had a solid native blend I'm not sure if I'd take the risk of that much impact. wonder video and wonder job.

[Raised-Right]

Looks awesome. Thanks for your videos.

Красотища то какая!
С удовольствием бы сам занялся таким бизнесом, но к сожалению нет столько свободной земли, и стоит она очень дорого.
И поросят то у меня всего 2.
Но как говорится, есть к чему стремится...

Thanks Jordan for the tour. Nice to see what it looks like since my October 2019 visit. Tim in northern TN

Tu pequeña granja está tan cerca de la naturaleza.

[ks_hunter]

That’s the first time I have heard of us pigs to sow seeds but it’s a perfect way to take advantage of their natural rooting behavior.

[kennethheern]

Those are some nice looking hogs. They look ready to butcher. Hard to tell from a video.

Very interesting finisher setup. When you say $1300 per pig retail value, it seems unattainable. If you calculate a 300 lb. liveweight dressed at 72% (with scalding) or 66% (with hide pulling) that would mean an average carcass price in the area of $7. The butcher shops we work with in California would not pay that much or even near it, and we are compelled to cut the pork further down into boneless loins, or other sub primals that can demand this or more but then we have much lower yield. I'm just curious if you have figured that value based on your own processing such as bacon or ham, etc. or if you sell mainly fresh/raw primals?

[mistervacation]

Well we don't rent pigs and I figure it's better to say it right out front because a man that does like to rent pigs is... he's hard to stop!

[josha]

I’m about to start a small farm. I’m buying about 10 acres with 2 acres that I’ll be able to dedicate to pigs. How many pigs do you recommend and what size should the paddocks be? I live in eastern Washington and the land will be irrigated. Thanks a lot!

[MrJoeairman]

Wow that's a great looking farm. Virginia is beautiful country. If I were a pig I would love to live there, except for the electric fence. 😐
