    ***** About Living Traditions Homestead *****
    Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.
    We put out 2 new videos every week! Wednesday and Saturday. We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we give up the rat race and live simpler, more fulfilling life in the country.

    The thing I love about your videos is that you give the background and get to the point without rehashing all you are doing over and over again. Your communication skills and experience developed in the corporate world in communicating with people make listening to you a pleasure. Great job.

    Ginger isnt getting tame because pigs are competative eaters. The pig more willing to come close to you gets the most food. Ginger doesnt have to compete for food so she just waits for you to drop it and get our of the way.

  • @margaretarross1712
    @margaretarross1712 Před 3 lety +23

    A suggestion: Your work lane between the pig pens looks useful. If you swapped out the gates for longer ones that would span the lane when opened fully, you could dispense with having to pack the separate hog panel to shut it off. By placing the hinges on opposite sides of each gate, simply swing them across and have the two pens connected until you got through moving pigs. Good job on your channel, well deserved congrats.

    • @ivories88wi
      @ivories88wi Před 3 lety

      I thought the same thing. Switch the hinges, add a longer gate and VOILA! Gate/blockade.

    I respect you guys for what you've become and love your content.
    I don't eat mammals ... I gave it up 20 years ago because of the horrendous conditions of factory farming and their rushed & sloppy slaughters. The animals, who should've been treated well from beginning to end for their sacrifice in order to feed us, were treated disgustingly. It's been so long now that I won't be going back but I could raise feeder chickens and have a cow for milk but unfortunately age and physical issues has limited me to some food gardening and layer hens. I sure wish I'd have known about your kind of homesteading 30 years ago.
    Love you two 🐄🌱🐖🌱🐗🌱🐔

  • @Jaynes-Path
    @Jaynes-Path Před 3 lety +4

    FYI: I've seen newborn piglets go through a sheep & goat fence. Being newborns especially, momma was very aggressively trying to get to them. I would put either another strip of fence or pig fence on the bottom of your gate before the other mom has her piglets. It can save you a lot of stress and possibly a emergency situation.

    Love pigs-Many, MANY years ago, I won awards while on the FFA Swine Chain. Also at our local animal auction, the auctioneer advertised a couple weeks ahead of time whenever I was going to bring in Weaner/Feeder pigs-he always got me the highest prices for my gentled pigs. I surely wish I could get back in to raising pigs again. I am so loving the IPP’s! I had mainly Durocs back then. I’m 61 now-so 4H & FFA was over 40 years ago!!!
    I don’t plant here until after the 1st of June we have 27 degree here every night. Last frost is towards the end of May; 1st frost is usually mid September!
