raising pigs without smell and on the cheap

[newtubetubetube]

The only reason why pig farm stink is because they hose wash the shit instead of making manure. It is the lazy way of milk every penny out of the environment... at the expanse of the community too.

You are absolutely right, pig are cleaner then dog and yet we allow dog almost everywhere.

Your pigs look healthy and appetising. I would love if all pig meat was produced this way.

you go hippies :)

[bigboys1199]

hahaha when those pigs get big that gate will need to be 10 times higher and 10 times stronger

[zumhingst41]

I hear a hippie jam band in the background...lol

I was in a 500 plus pig barn once. It was a local farmer and after watching company farms videos I have to say it was better than most. Pens with mud wood dark stalls and bare bulb lights are better than cold steel and 24/7 lights anyday.

We just bought a few pigs and put them on some fallow land that had a corner of blackberries. I hadn't heard that they like blackberry roots and I almost excluded that corner from the fenced area. They really do love rooting them up. Too bad they're under a foot of snow today.

Mmmm, they look tasty! Probably have elevated/optimal levels of nutrition with low toxicity!

Don’t feel conflicted about slaughtering a domesticated animal for meat because they would not have the life they live if someone did not want to eat them. Temple Grandin once pointed out that what we owe the animal is compassion while they are alive because it is for our use that they were brought into existence. This is why factory farming must stop and be replaced with pasturing using managed rotation. There is no reason why an animal being raised for meat can’t have a happy idyllic life.

[zellerz1216]

@MrAnthonyRizzo 100% agree with you (: i however, am becoming a vegeterian until i can find a local producer of pastured meat. i live in what you would call a "food desert".

[MrAnthonyRizzo]

@zellerz1216 I hear you loud and clear. Vegetarians do well by eating lower on the food chain. It’s good for animals, the environment and your economic status as well. Just be careful not to depend heavily on soy and wheat protein. Long term exposure of plant sterols found in soy can have unforeseen consequences on men and long term exposure to gluten found in wheat can lead to gluten intolerance or even celiac disease. Dry beans, quinoa & brown rice however are awesome !

@MrAnthonyRizzo said "There is no reason why an animal being raised for meat can’t have a happy idyllic life."

There is also no reason why they should. Especially since most, if not all, human being do not have a idyllic life themselves.

Compassion and provide idyllic life are not the same thing.

Life is hard. Get over it hippe fucktard.

[MrAnthonyRizzo]

@newtubetubetube “hippie fuctard” ? Really? Is that the best quip that can come out of your mouth? Does the imbecilic gibberish that you are trying to pass off as written speech not embarrass you? I guess if pigs don’t mind mud then why should you, mind it either. It seems to be your element. It makes sense that you feel the way you do. Why should you want to elevate the standard of life for a dependent creature when you yourself have no inclination to do that for yourself?

Raising pigs on pasture works really well. We raise about 300 pigs year round with about 40 breeding sows and pigs on roughly 70 acres using managed rotation grazing along with sheep, chickens, ducks and geese. Properly managed there is no piggy smell. Their urine and manure is naturally spread out over the fields and our soil is improving year by year. We primarily use high tensile electric fencing as well as some of the cattle panel and hog panel in high pressure areas. Keep up the good work!

My heart SCREAMS for the sweet life. Gentle kindnesses with the animals, fresh, raw organic grown food, loving, supportive community. Thanks for this video. The hard part will be... sending the little piggies to "Heaven." But, these piglets live a charmed, blessed life in comparison to factory farmed piglets.

[zellerz1216]

@southrncalifgirl1

i must agree, although i feel bad about eating such a sweet little piggie, i think that if they live a good life, what does it matter? they were happy, and they went to heaven, better than factory pigs, ew, so sad and disgusting, im going to eat only organic, local, sustainable meats from now on.

[newtubetubetube]

@zellerz1216 said "they were happy, and they went to heaven [...]"

They were happy in conventional raising too because it was all they knew. And no, they did not go to pig heaven and you won't go to haven either. Face your own mortality and solve your issue before passing moral judgement on other.

[zellerz1216]

@newtubetubetube

hey, guess what? that's my belief, and i have that right. i appreciate a different opinion, but i don't need you to help me with my belief system. And as for the conventional way, i think you make a valid point, but they go through major, unneccessary pain, and thats not what some of us want in our society. You don't have to support this type of farming, but i do.

[enviromam100]

that little fence will not work when they get bigger

[missiedancer]

@enviromam100 We have raised lots of pigs in that fence and if you keep them fed they will not try to escape.

[enviromam100]

I keep mine on concrete and I wash it off everyday. and I must say they dont smell

[luckyduckfarms]

wait till they get bigger and move the fence their selfs.

[brad238899]

Pigs do smell terrible but so would we if you forced us into little boxes without a place to defecate or without a place to clean ourselves. Homesteading. So much fun. So much better for everyone & everything involved.

[sookiestackhouse2u]

hot guy in beard really knows his stuff. oink-oink ... here, piggy-piggy.

[anniequilts]

don't they dig their way out under the fence?

[emmaCAMILLEable]

Those pigs are adorable. How old are they? Are they going to get any bigger?

[jihadacadien]

I guess pigs only smell when there's a thousand of them in a barn.

[uhateusaFU]

Is she making pets out of your dinner? haha 

[amberb57]

I used a couple of young pigs to clear out, till up, and fertilize what became my first big garden plot. That was a good garden!

[NewHeritageFarms]

Well I tried - apparently a "video response" isn't what I thought. Oh, my. Guess I'll post on Permis.com

[NewHeritageFarms]

I've posted a couple videos of my SW Washington heritage breed Tamworth pigs. In your video the orange pig is possibly a Tamworth - a pasture pig - possibly from my offspring. In 2005 and 2006 we created the first successful breeding lines in OR, WA, ID and have since created a number of Tamworth breeders here. Plenty more pig videos - if you're crazy 'bout pigs!
