As a pig hauler for armstrong transportation from so st paul mn the owner was from riceville ia it brought back memories from the 70tys to the 90tys love your channel !
Tail bites and belly bust hernias were our biggest issue with the group were shipping out currently. Expect our pigs wouldn't go out,fought us all the way into the truck yesterday. Old natural barn plus high heat and humidity made it challenging even at 6 A.M.
Hello, I'm a Filipino guy and currently working for Hylife Ltd. as Barn Manager here in Manitoba, Canada. Eversince I started watching your videos I've been wanting to have my own barn someday. I graduated Bachelor of Science in Agriculture in The Philippines that's why taking care of animals and plants have been a passion of mine. I hope someday my dream will come true about having my own barn.
Nice video, i really like yours positive vibration :) In the subject of tail biting I disagree that there isn't anything to do to prevent it. Sometimes its becaus there are to meny pigs in the pen, sometimes they are bored (helps give them something to chew and play), maby its to little protein in fodder, it could be also problem with ventilation. But its true that if they start chewing tails its a hel of work to make them stop. At my place it helps to spray something bitter on the tails and take away from the pen not only the most bitten pigs but also mean ones that do the most bittings.
20-30 minutes a load to load. Probably about the same to pre sort. Not really a time saver in total but definitely easier on the pigs. Also nice to sort in the cool mornings for late night loads.
@@torktalks5573 i gotcha. Our loads usually go out at about 6 or a little before or a little after in the evening. It is pretty nice. Definetely makes sense for doing that on middle of the night loads
@@aford8776 it is better not to for us. They fight eachother and kill eachother and we dont have open pens. It would be nice if they didnt but thats just how it is. Could posssibly do that when were near empty but by then its easy enough going pen by pen it ends in 30 minutes anyways
☔ sed in Waterloo. My Fad and Mom escaped Jom Crow andover to Waterloo. After working on Illinois Central Railroad he was hired by John Deere. He put in 35 years and Mama put in 24 years w. I worked there for 5 years. Local UA 838 wentnon strike and Deeres sent xhipping qnr grinding jobs to Mexico. Lol. Th n I necamr a meat hauler. Parents have passed and no reason to retirn tp Iowa. IT HAS TURNED INTO TRUMP COUNTRY
I don't know why, but I love seeing my bacon and pork products being sent to me
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for watching!

Lucky for you that your dad didn’t hit his head on the quick hitch or you would have had major editing to do. Enjoy your father son banter!
You got that right Charles! Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!
Looks like you need to get rid of your junk pile
How old are they from birth, the group that you've sold out?
How much time does it take you guys to load a truck/pre sort. We dont sort before a load and takes about a hour a load
20-30 minutes a load to load. Probably about the same to pre sort. Not really a time saver in total but definitely easier on the pigs. Also nice to sort in the cool mornings for late night loads.
@@torktalks5573 i gotcha. Our loads usually go out at about 6 or a little before or a little after in the evening. It is pretty nice. Definetely makes sense for doing that on middle of the night loads
@@farmerjoe2158 start pre-sorting your loads. Your drivers will thank you.

good night I would like to know how you remove the dead animals
Might cover this in a future video!
Y’all looking for a driver
I have five hammers i can find 2
Haha that’s how it goes most of the time! Thanks for watching
I bet your hogs gave someone some pork chops
You betcha! Thanks for the continued support Will!
"Market hogs" = slaughter hogs.
Sawyer , tail biting is a result of shitty genetics and or a lack of potassium in the feed . And ventilation plays a huge role .
And Circo…
@@torktalks5573 could be , we just see it using the PIC boar .
