We were glad to host a tour on Sunday for a group of beginning farmers interested in raising pigs.
It was a pretty in depth description of raising hogs. We've learned a lot of over the years and hopefully were able to pass on some of that knowledge. This way the learning curve won't be so steep for others.
Pig pushers make it easier to herd pigs. The ones pictured above are made from half sheets of plywood.
Pigs can get a gate to come off its hinges by lifting up on the bottom. A flat washer and hose clamp fixes this problem.
Old non-working chest freezers are easy to come by and make great rodent proof feed storage. Usually people will give broken chest freezers away.
