Managing Pigs in Small Pig Pens: Deep Mulch Bedding

cant expect an animal to be clean when there isnt the option, if you were kept in a room and had to do your business in the corner and couldn't take a shower I would wager you would stink more then the pig.

Most animals are cleaner then we give them credit for, we just tend to keep them is conditions that arent the cleanest. Few people are willing to give animals the space and facilities to be clean.

So misunderstood!!! Thank you for the education.

You sound REALLY stupid calling acorns "akerns." Disliked.

We do stump removal and brush chipping which we take to a local pig farmer who uses it for bedding.

I believe that he fed the pigs some pumpkins or squash and when the pigs pooped out the seeds, the squash just exploded in growth.

I love how you say acorns ❤ (seriously! 😊)

Are those your daughters or granddaughters helping you on the farm? So cute! I’m 26 and hope to raise my future kids this way.

Beautiful Girls you have

Nice

Throw all your weeds and corn stalks and vegetable waste in thier too .

Cows are the gross ones

That brown pig in the hay is living it's best life. Imagine being absolutely surrounded by French fries

May I ask a question? I have heard that pigs keep defecation and feeding areas separate unlike cows, is this true?

Can you use slew grass/ hay to use for winter bedding? They will be in 2 acres, pasture /woodland too.

That Duroc’s got the right idea! 👨🏼‍🌾

I could probably just google this but i figured asking you would be more fun, what is the swine equivalent of a bull? Is there a specific name? Like stallions or bulls or roosters? Is there a name for castrated pigs? Thabks for andwering if you can!!

Where do the pigs go?

Sorry
Don’t eat pig
You are what you eat
It’s against Christianity
All religions forbid eating swine
Except Hinduism

Just subd.

Ive seen a video where a farmer guy shows the difference between a tree growing normally and one growing where a pig pen used to be. Planted same time but the pig one was huge and strong as hell.

They usually will pick a corner and poo in that same small area if they can

Ache-rns

Aren't we saying something about that one pig that is twerking at the side of the hay??

You really know a lot about caring for them. 👍🏼

Very clean!!!

I thought this was Jordan B Peterson A.I voice speaking at first lol. Great video though

Sounded like Jordan Peterson at the beginning of the vid 😂

Akerns

😄👍Good To Know, Great Tips

they look like cutie compost makers to me!

You sIr are absolutely correct!!

Been around hogs all my life and realalty they the cleanest livestock that live

I love how you have your little girls help. You are raising strong women.

That soil gonna be rich in nutritions as frick

Thay taste good with fried eggs and butterd toast and hash browns and pan cakes

Pigs to me smell better than goats😂

I will never understand the logic: We keep animals in such small spaces that they live in their own feces? They are so filthy!... just care for them properly and they wont have to live in their own shit

That one pig on the right was getting freaky when the guy was drinking the hay 😂😂😂

Those who does not know dont know.

please only put carbon based mulch in the bedding if you put silicone based mulch in the bedding the pigs will die.

I like learning

my pig phill uses the bathroom in a small kids pool with a ten cup puppy training pad in it , he uses about 4or 5 a day lol i have to clean it as soon as he is done or he freaks out and screams at me untill i do .. he refuses to pee outside like a savage

What about Cedar Chips?

Since when did Jordan Peterson do farm vids🤔

Yes, same for Homo saps...who have slums even when they could keep it clean. We had Pigs when I was young & they adored their clean pens & rolling in mud to stop sunburn & mosquitoes. Thank you.

Narrator sounds like a pig
