Pigs to new pasture

pigstopasture

Moved the 14 week old piglets from the small shed to the big shed and lower pasture. They are ready to free range and root around. Yesterday and the prior weekend, we had installed the lower hot wire, filled in a gate jamb, and pig proofed the perimeter the best we could. When pigs are rooting, they don’t look where they are going and will plow right through if there isn’t a hot wire to remind them of boundaries. Even so, it is a chore keeping that line clean from all the rooting buildup at the edges.
