- This will be our first winter with pigs. This could get interesting. LOL There are many things that we need to do before winter arrives....one of them was to build a pig pen for the winter months.

One day we will get pigs for the freezer. Can’t wait. We love pork.
Highly recommend the IPP. Amazing taste and that is coming from someone that really never like pork before. Thanks for watching. Hope you are all doing well. 👍
I'm with you I like matching post. I think winter pigs are easier than spring pigs
See… I feel so much better that I’m not the only one! Thank you kind sir! 👍
…and that’s interesting. I would think winter pigs would be more challenging. I know your busy, but if you have a second to explain what you like different about spring/summer vs. winter I’d be very interested to hear. Thanks for watching. I pray you and the family are doing well. 🙏❤️🙏
@@CelticRootsFarm they are chill and I think k a lot of Otis because there’s less going on in the homestead
@@LumnahAcres Thank you! Very true. Yeah, the winter months are definitely a lot more low key than when we are running around crazy busy with the garden…etc. For me the winter chores (even the easy ones) always seems more tedious because of the ice and snow that we have to deal with here in NH. Thanks Al! Great hearing from you!
@@CelticRootsFarm yup the ice and snow sure can slow us down.
That’s how we did our pasture fencing…kind of. We used Paige wire fencing around perimeter and then used hog panel and metal t posts to section it off. Then we strung a hot wire using plastic insulators that clipped to the tposts. It’s great! Love the outtakes! 😂😂
Nice! Yeah, I was gonna use the plastic insulators. Now that you mention it… I might actually use those instead of poles. (LOL) I forgot I had an entire bag of them. Shoot! Oh well. Thanks for that… and for watching 👍 Hope you guys are doing well.
I'm with you on the uniform look. Nice & Neat. Great eye appeal & real estate value. Keeping It Classy
always reaps many dividends!
Thank you! I appreciate that! 👍 … and thanks so much for watching.
That was awesome 🤣 they wanna play.
Yeah, they can get pretty crazy. Although it is funny to watch, it is not good for them to run around though because their intestines can easily twist and cause major problems. Thanks for watching! 👍
Loved the out takes! Totally relate to the wind and beard complications. 🧔🏻♂️😂
LOL Thank you! The wind lately has been crazy. Very difficult to get good sound quality when you live on top of a mountain. I thought my mic was going back, but it was just the wind. LOL
Your pigs look nice and healthy and I love your out takes at the end of the video! 🤣😂
Thank you! Yes, they are definitely not skipping meals. LOL …and so glad you enjoyed them! ❤️
Great looking property! That view is fantastic. I so want pigs, but I'll just have to live vicariously through your channel for now. Awesome video!
We appreciate that! Thank you. We really enjoy raising pigs… especially the IPP (Idaho Pasture Pigs) I’m not a huge pork lover, but this pork is amazing! Once again… thanks for your kind words and for taking the time to watch and leave us a comment. 👍
Lol the pigs are hilarious! Great job.
Yeah… they are big HAMS. 🤣😂🤣 See what I did there? LOL Thanks for watching!
@@CelticRootsFarm lol that’s funny
Looks good and should be a good spot for them for the winter. Love the outtakes! Ours do the same thing...always trying to nibble on us. LOL
Thank you! I can just imagine what that spot is going to look like at the end of the winter. LOL These two pigs are a lot more aggressive than our last two. They are friendly, but they definitely pushy when it comes time to eat. Glad to hear you enjoy the outtakes. I end up with so many that someone suggested that I should perhaps do a best of outtakes video at the end of the year. Thanks so much for watching! ❤️
@@CelticRootsFarm I noticed our 2 pushing each other to eat this morning. Ginger finished eating first and went for Dolly’s bowl. Then the pushing ensued. 😁
Haha I’m loving the outtakes! We’re looking to get hogs next year and this video is helping me to design and map my pen! Great job!!!
LOL - Thank you! Not sure if you have a certain type of pig in mind, but the IPP are amazing. Plus it doesn’t hurt that the pork is the best I’ve ever had. Not that we are expert, but if there is anything we can do to help, please don’t hesitate to ask. 👍 Thanks for watching!
😂 love the outtakes.
Thank you! It was definitely challenging to do that with the pigs. 50 takes later… I finally got it. LOL Thanks for watching! 👍
Good video
Thank you! …and thank you for taking the time to watch. 👍
Glen definitely has the same problem with having everything just perfect. 😆 Our cows like to chew on those white electric fence posts, hopefully the pigs don’t!
The wind sure does like to swoop over the mountains.. but it is so worth it for the views.
I’m getting better, but geez! LOL I’ll have to keep an eye on the posts. Thanks for the heads up. We had pigs in a set up like this before but it was when they were really young. …and yes, the wind is insane! We lost our seed house a while back because of it. We definitely gotta watch what trees we cut down for our wind blocks up here. 👍
Hey!!! Long time no see... Love your videos!
Hey Kathy! Thanks so much for watching! Really appreciate the support! ❤️ I pray you are doing well.
We are new to your channel. Came over from Yogi Hollow Farm.
Oh nice! WELCOME! We appreciate you taking the time to watch. If you ever have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask. It will be our pleasure to do our best to answer them. 👍
Honestly I’m right there with you there is no way on this earth that I would be able to use random non-matching posts!!
I would seriously just lose my mind. Then again I can’t even pump gas into my truck without ending the gallon and dollar amount on a positive number…
Thank you! LOL - It's so sad isn't it! I have a list and a half of things that bother me to no end. Random things that really wouldn't make a difference to anyone, but I would lose sleep over. Cheryl will think that I walked away from something and didn't fix it, and she is so proud of me, but meanwhile I fixed it when she wasn't looking. LOL Thank you for letting me know that I'm not alone in this.
@@CelticRootsFarm honestly the struggle is real!! I sincerely don’t think I’ve ever seen anybody else express it exactly the way you just did which is exactly the way it’s in my head! Super weird but you’ve got a distant brother that understands my friend! Take care
That OCD can be a struggle
Yes it can. I’ve been getting better over the years, but sometimes when it kicks in… look out! Thanks so much for watching. 👍
I always learn something new in your videos; never thought about which direction the "nubby" side is on a t-post until I watched this! Also, not sure if you've ever mentioned it on the channel, but what camera do you use? I love the quality of the footage on your channel.
Very kind of you to say… thank you! Obviously it doesn’t happen all the time, but if we can provide something that people can take away from our videos, that makes it worth it for us. Sometimes there is a fine line and we don’t want to come across as know it all’s either, because often times we are just figuring it out for ourselves. LOL
In regards to the camera… I switch back and forth from a GoPro Hero7 Black to a Canon M50 with a Rode Video mic Pro. Still trying to learn more about manual settings on my camera. That is was makes a huge difference. The auto settings can work (sometimes) but if you are looking for a specific look, ya gotta learn all the settings, lighting, Fstops… the whole 9. I appreciate the kind words though. Thank you! 🙏❤️🙏
@@CelticRootsFarm Good to hear this! I actually just picked up an M50 (with a Rode mic as it happens) myself and am learning all the ins and outs. I'm excited to move it into production, but for now I'm still in "school" as it were.
@@TheModernYeoman
NICE! Congrats! There are a few really good tutorial videos out there that have been helping me with the camera and settings. Three mere is definitely a learning curve. Talk to me if you decide to try and use it for Livestreams. It can be done…many say no.
My biggest thing with the Sure mic is to actually remember to turn it on. Many mics instantly are active when plugged into the camera. Not this one. I recorded for over an hour a few times and then realized it wasn’t on. LOL
BTW- this lens (link below of a review on it) is my next step. I’ve heard incredible things about it and pretty much everyone agrees that this lens catapults the M50 into a whole other realm of quality. Congrats my friend!

@@CelticRootsFarm Oh wow that is slick-looking. Thanks for the tip my friend!
how are your arms feeling after pounding all those posts? nice pasture set up
Thank you… and … LOL I was quite Surprised that it wasn’t too bad. I’ve been doing a lot of firewood lately too, so my body must have been kinda used to working like that.
Funny story - I was using the post driver once… I had a few more wacks to finish off the T-Post and I went to give one last hit and I pulled out just a little too much. I caught the post driver on the corner or the T post - pulled down with all my might and the whole thing came down on my head. I was seeing stars and just about knocked me out. I had an egg on my head the size of a softball. Talk about concussion! Uhg! LOL
Hi, question: I’m still new to the whole USDA thing. We are moving to Loudon soon and already purchased a bunch of great meat from local farmers that is not USDA. Is that a problem? Why are people so scared of non-usda, and should i be too? Why dont I care? Maybe I should. Thank you! Love your videos!
No you’re fine. The main difference for us anyway, is when it comes time to sell our meat at a farmers market…legally it has to be USDA. However, I can raise meat for ourself/family and it not be an issue. I can also sell meat directly to someone (if I came to your home or you came to mine) and it wouldn’t need to be USDA. So for us… that’s the main reason why we opted for USDA this time. Last year we didn’t. Hope that helps. Thanks so much for watching. We really appreciate the support! ❤️
@@CelticRootsFarm and it is crazy how some states have exemptions from the FDA rule (ex:meat chickens) under a certain amount. Frustrating because we have been on a waiting list for USDA processor since 2020…packed full. So we are eating our own raised pork and can’t sell it
I think in NH poultry can also be sold legally as non-USDA. Man I did notice how scarce butchers are! I was joking with my husband that maybe he should learn!!
@@MsAdrinalina that’s crazy! We can’t sell anything without USDA and impossible to get in! We process our own chickens. It’s easy
angie is the the same way all the posts would have to be the same,,,,,,
It’s those little things that drive me crazy. If you watch enough of our videos, you will pick up on my OCD real quick. LOL Especially, when it comes to planting and making beds in the garden. 👍
Do you do the cattle panel and the wire fencing in case the premiere stuff doesn't work and you have the cattle panel as back up?
Pigs are weird. They sometimes have an opposite reaction to getting shocked and will run forward instead of back. Once they learn what the electric fence is, then you don’t see that happen very often.
Most people agree that when you are training a pig to an electric fence it is always a good idea to have that hog panel behind the electric fence for that reason. We have our two pigs inside the hog panel fence right now with no electric fence and they haven’t been a problem at all. 👍
@@CelticRootsFarm im learning a lot from you all. I guess I need 2 barriers.
Thank you. We appreciate that! 👍❤️👍 It is definitely always better to be safe than sorry. We’ve chased pigs around the property when they got out… NOT FUN! LOL
@@CelticRootsFarm I live right on thr highway and where I'm putting them is right near the border, so I can't have them getting out. Gonna have to build a trench or fort knox
A moat with some alligators would be cool. oooOOo… and a drawbridge! Without a doubt that video would go viral! 🤣😂🤣
