***** 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! Tuesday 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.

I’ve had my grandson since Sunday and I said to him after breakfast. It’s Tuesday...let’s go watch some living traditions homestead. Lol
Charlie is adorable. He was definitely laughing 😂
Make sure your barrels are vented at the top, if not you won’t have good flow regardless of how high you raise them.
Charlie ripped up his shelter in sexual frustration seeing those gorgeous girls he can't get to! Cheer up Charlie, your day will come 😄
He will really tear stuff up if he catches a sniff of the girls in heat. OMG he will destroy the entire pen. He will get to them any way he can.
Beautiful animals. Love the fact that they are non-agressive. They really grown quite fast. Enjoy them. Thank you for sharing.. Blessings, Laura M🐓🌼
Name him sutty
Ava would be a good name for the pig 🐖
Those pigs seem like the perfect breed ! They are so gentle, especially the boar. The feeding platform is a great idea.
It’s official Living Traditions is my favorite homesteading channel. I have followed your advise sooo many times. I just ordered 4 Idaho Pasture pigs and will travel across the state to get them.
I talk about your videos so often to my son (he's 25) that I just start with "Kevin and Sarah..." Thanks for being such wonderful teachers in your videos and such beautiful people! God bless!!
Charley is so cute. I just love him. Love the laughs.
We raise Kunekune pigs and they are very vocal. It's nice to see this breed exhibiting so many desirable Kunekune traits. ❤
Good morning. I would love to see you feed the pigs some marshmallows. Have a good day. God bless.
The white one reminds me of Wilbur from Charlotte's Web 🐷🕸️🕷️
I can understand why you like them so much. Wonderful temperament.
Thank you for sharing food information. Take care and be safe. Many blessing on you and your family.
Good morning. The pigs are really happy, playing with each other. Wonderful job, keep up the great work. God bless
You two do such a good job explaining things in a way that is easy to understand. I also look forward to seeing new videos. Thanks and God Bless.
Enjoyed the history of the pigs their so cute, you didn't need to name the pig after my father in law. God bless 🤗💜🙏
I have bred and raised IPPs for several years. Love the breed... friendly, easy on your pastures but can be hard on houses. We use the heavy polycarb calf dome huts placed on wooden sled platforms (we built). They get the pigs up off the ground and allow us to drag them around the pastures with a tractor for better rotational grazing. The huts are almost indestructible and will last for years.
My boars are like big teddy bears, always wanting a belly rub. I have no fear of being in the boar paddocks, however, I never turn my back on them. While not overly aggressive, if sows are in season, they can get territorial. They are unbelievably strong and even the small tusk will injure you quickly.
Great looking bunch! Charlie reminds me of one of my breeding boars, Oscar... Oscar Myer. Good luck!!
Casey. Do you have a pic of your huts?
Thanks Kevin this is a great video. It made me smile and I really need that right now. Those pigs are marvelous creatures. Have fun stay safe and healthy
We butchered a pig a year before last it was so awesome we got some old spot heritage pigs this year but we are still learning for sure I really like your plat form feeder it has rained a lot here and we are having to use a lot of hay to try and keep it dry in their own but a platform will be a much better more sustainable than adding hey every time it rains. Great video thanks for sharing
Bowling balls are a good item for them to roll around and play with.
Then they can play keep away
They do get bored, and 'toys', like a hanging tire help.....but they get bored quickly again.
The Back Porch Farmer that sounds like a great idea! I was thinking they needed a ball to play with, but they would destroy a regular horse ball.
Hey Kevin, Since your boar hog like to sleep on his feed station so well, you should try putting him on a floored shelter. You could build a back wall in it also for the harsh winter months. You may also consider a closed in floored shelter for the sows as well. The little newborn piglets will need a rail around the wall about 8 to 10 inches off the floor and standing off from the wall about 6 inches to give them a place to go to keep momma from laying down and squishing the babies. You may already know all this stuff, I don't know. At any rate you and yours stay safe and keep on making these great videos. God bless you all.
I agree, the pigs probably had a floor in their house at their previous home, to keep them up off the cold ground.....great recommendation about the safety rail around the Sow's house, for farrowing time.
We raise Boston Terriers. All the breeders I know put “pig rails” in their whelping boxes. Now I know why we use that term , lol
Rick Preston don’t think they will be around in the winter
That was cute how they leaned in at him and got curious and came to see him.
Love them they way they don’t tare up their ground best pigs to have and play full
@Family Man too
Charlie sounds like he's having an actual conversation with you!🤯💞
My husband and I have been tuning into your channel for a little over a year now. We have learned so much from y’all about; chicken tractors, about raising meat birds (we just ordered some for the first time ever!}, about freezing fresh spinach, and now about feeder pigs (maybe next year). You guys have such an adorable family! You two are so great about the way you teach and share on your videos. We are 60ish and bought our 6 acre farm in the west central mountains of Idaho just over 2 years ago. We moved from our city home in Utah where we had fruit trees, a large raspberry patch and a sizeable garden on our 1/5 acre home where my husband had been for 25 years. I hadn’t heard of homesteading or permaculture but, I have had a strong desire to be as self sufficient as possible for as long as I can remember. As a city girl I wasn’t quite sure what that looked like. Well, because of your amazing videos we are having the time of our life creating our happily ever after homestead. God bless you for taking the time to share your knowledge and experiences. We just love you and have enjoyed welcoming you into our home. I’m blind and my husband is a disabled vet so wen have a few extra obstacles to overcome. Y’all have helped us bypass many of the mistakes we would have made had you not enlightened us. We appreciate the love and laughter you share in addition to the knowledge. Thank you! We look forward to your videos each day and reference your past videos frequently! We hope you feel the love from BLIND FAITH FARM in Idaho!👍❤️
I LOVE how vocal they are!
All of our pigs have been chatty (hamps, Berks, yorks & durocs), though maybe that’s because we have always chatted with them 😆 I can’t believe they have left your ground alone haha that is pretty amazing!
Hi Guys!
Sarah, maybe that third piglet could be called Bootsy, it has gorgeous tan feet up to the ankles.
283k, wow. 12,000 views in 3 hours, wow. The best channel out there.
Blessings.
Pigs seem to be the favorite among farm animals to raise. They are great to watch and listen to. Take care of each other. :0)
I was born in the countryside in Eastern Washington but live in city since 1982. I loved this video you presented the homestead as a very attractive opportunity and alternative to city life.
Sarah, what about Tootsie? She's shaped like a Tootsie roll and is kind of the color of a Tootsie roll. Enjoy seeing you guys!
Best pig name I've ever heard? "Chris P. Bacon".
Happy Hippie I know of a guy whose parents named him that. Chris Paul Bacon 😂
Wow! Since this video, I have seen newer ones From Living Traditions, and Charlie's crown jewels have grown geometrically. He is now the Dude about the farm and ready for action!
Those little buck teeth 😍 They're so cute!
Oh my god when he was sniffing the camera and you got to see his little teeth. So. Cute.
I am moving from AZ to Kentucky and a big ole pet pig is #1 on my list!!!
Kevin said "I see bacon" , hahaha
Thank you for sharing the feeding platform. My husband & I built one similar for our pigs after seeing your platform. We are raising Old Spots this year. I would love to try these Idaho Pasture pigs eventually. Thanks for sharing. Much 💜 from Hidden Heights Farm.
Pigs are very smart. They ARE very playful and entertaining. Give them time and they will get close to you.
great video charlies water barrel looks like it has both bung plugs in. it may be creating vacuum in the barrel trying removing one and placing screen over the opening to keep the water clean
That's a nice fence you have them in, i 🙏 that you your 👪 be 👌 from the virus . God Bless You . 💘 these videos
Your pigs are beautiful and very healthy-looking! I think that this is an ideal breed for your homestead....it is great that they graze and don't destroy the land....your feeding and watering stations are perfect!...it is so nice that they are not constantly standing in a mud wallow...it keeps them nice and clean....keep working with your piglets and they will respond to you as your other pigs have...watching your video makes me want to raise Idaho Pasture Pigs! I love the way you care for your animals...great job!❤
Suggestion.
Put a skirt of wood around the trough so the food doesn't get lodged under them. Make it at an angle so you don't have a 90° corner too. This way food won't go bad or wasted because they can't get to it.
I would put a roof over it too so rain can't get on the feed that is left in the trough.
Put a drop down door in the back that you can open to put the food in the length of the trough so you can spread the food evenly in the trough. Put an angle on the roof with water diverter with drains on both ends so rain water doesn't collect behind the roof where you put the lift door is could get some kind way to direct the rain water away from the feeder rain gutter diverter type thing.
Or if you want to make a mud pit for them. Divert the rain water back in pen in an area that is away from feeder and fence.
I would put the watering. Device up higher.. mouth high so they won't be kicking dirt into it. Again make it to nothing can get trapped under or around the waterer without 90° angles. This way you can keep it clean with hose or pressure washer once in a while.. maybe once a month. If you don't your wood will start rotting attracting bugs/mice etc.
Could put gaps in.the feeder deck to allow water to drain too.. doesn't have to be much.. just enough to allow the deck to stay dry and clean.
I live in Texas I sure would like to have 3 of them. One male 2 females.
But not so sure how they would travel all that way to Texas. I'm 60 miles south of San Antonio.
That would be a long trip. It would have to be in early spring, so they wouldn't get too hot in our heat.
We would have to protect them from the huge ferral wild hogs we have here too.
Kevin we raise pigs when I was a kid. It was a messy stinky experience. Your pigs are fantastic! So great to see there are different kinds with great qualities.
Thank you for all the videos. It helps me stay motivated.
Love you guys! You guys are great! May everything you put your hands to do be abundantly blessed!
You are both blessed because you are very kind and respectful to all your animals! Even the way you talk to them, there is compassion.....Thank you so much for being so loving to all of them ❤️
I love how you all enjoy your animals.
Looks like you need to give them toys to play with.
Hello from Australia! Pigs love to play with bowling balls. When I was a teenager growing up in western Massachusetts, my parents raised pigs for meat and they gave the pigs a bowling ball and they loved it. Pigs have very strong snouts and they pushed that bowling ball around their pen like a soccer team!
@@22sades - Awesome idea. We have 'stay at home' rules. Later they could go to a thrift store and find some. TFS Take care and stay safe.
Look at the waddles 🥰🥰🥰🥰 super cute! We have berkXHamp and they get 700lbs if you let them. I am excited to watch this process with you guys.
My husband and I are planning on moving to southern Missouri in the spring and starting our own homestead with our boys thanks to you Sarah, and we would LOVE to get some baby pigs from yall! We have been looking for a little over a week and there is some amazing land in Missouri.
Yeah lift the water barrels up about 2 or 3ft you'll have plenty of pressure.
Put it on a pallet that has blocks under it.
Ava
Name for the pig Ava
Thanks for your videos, Keeps life interesting right now,!!!
Since you're going to be using Myrtle and Mildred as breeding sows, I imagine you'll be keeping them for quite a long time. Have you considered getting them some enrichment toys? Pigs are very smart and clever, and they would benefit from environmental enrichment and stimulation.
Edit: Now that I think of it, your viewers would probably love to see your pigs learn to do tricks. That might be a fun task to give your girls.
Omg ! They are all adorable! I'm so loving this video! Can't wait to see the babies!!! They are seriously so sweet like puppies! I love how they talk to you!
Really enjoy all your videos! Look forward to each one. You’re both so personable.
Y’all are great! I have learned so much from watching your videos I’ve always wanted to homestead and y’all have really given me more motivation to work toward that goal
I so appreciate all I learn from your videos. Thank you.
But love you both, I’m learning. You have been great mentors. God bless you both and your family.🙏
Good morning to you all, great video with your pigs. Lots of good information and caring for them also. Understanding they are food being raised and carrying through at the dinner table is good. Thanks for sharing with us and keep up the good work and videos. Fred.
When I was a boy we used those waterers from a barrel sitting up on a barrel. That gave enough pressure for them to work.
We kept a metal bucket in their pens with a couple of baseball size rocks inside to make noise. They would play with them all day.
You can wet their feed to keep waste down.
Glad you are enjoying your piggies! I like that they are friendly enough to be close to them... 😍
I love Idaho Pasture Pigs! 😃
All the best to you all. Stay safe and healthy. God Bless you and yours.
My pigs go nuts over raw eggs, try those instead of marshmallows, much healthier. Bart for the black one.
Hard cooked eggs are much better for pigs. It changes a protein in the egg and makes it much more available to them.
Oh they are so cute! I really love the pigs! Thanks for sharing!
Your pigs are doing great in their new homes. Thanks for sharing your views. I live in the city so can't even have chickens, but I enjoy watching y'all raise your own food, both meat & produce. Have a Blessed day.
We like the name Beans. Short for Pork and Beans. We love pigs. They are so cute. I just want to hug them.
They are so cute love watching your animals thanks for sharing God Bless and see you next time
I’m just grinning ear to ear, this share was amazing! Who knew how marvelous having pig’s could be and their paddocks so neat, it’s like the don’t know they are pigs 😋. Always grateful 4 your generous life shares.
They have such great temperaments. 🐷🐽
We use to put bowling balls in with our pigs. They LOVED rolling them around their enclosure. it helped keep them busy when they were bored & bowling balls are practically indestructible. Lol
Your pigs might enjoy some toys, they sure liked that bucket. Lol
They seem absolutely great! So glad it's working out for you. Edit: just an idea you may want to consider raising up some breeding pairs as you get established these are very hard to find
Love your channel! Keep up the great work!
Hi guys, my husband and I love your vlogs. Thank you for teaching us every day with your programs. Please make a video of 50 questions about you, you have a beautiful family. God bless you.😊
Wow they all look great, those girls are absolutely beautiful, and you could say that Charlie is a camera hog, yeah sorry I had to do it. Ya'll are looking great, I love watching you.
Jimmy
Yeah, that Charlie... what a ham!!
I couldn't resist either and I ain't sorry ;)
Great video, so informative and educational
Excellent feed stand idea
Love them adorable
I just found you today. I love you two! Thank you so much for making these videos! I especially love watching and learning about the animals. I live in the city and have 4 hens which I love.
Enjoyed as always.
Charlie is such a ham! 🐷🐷🐷🐷 So looking forward to having pigs. You have sold us on Idaho Pasture Pigs.
God bless you guys!
The pig's look Good Kiddo's ,,,,,, Be Safe. God bless ,,,,old marine Homestead
good for you guys
Congratulations!
Charlie was laughing 😂😂😂 dang it Charlie your spoiled rotten lol
Wow! They really do seem like a great homestead pig!! I love how vocal Charlie is!!! Animals that are chatty make me happy :)
Sweet pigs! So gentle!
If you put a roof over the feeding area you could put gutters on it to make your waterer self serving and also use that as the replacement shelter for Charlie
Cant wait till ur spring, love tiny pigs, they are soooooo cute
I’m excited to see how they do. 👍
I love your videos and your family
Thank you. How are the bunnies. Can you do more overall videos. I love to see all your animals.
I second that request! I love following the morning feeding routine. Of course the icing on that cake was the duck run. How are they adapting to their new, limited area?
In the summer pigs wallow to keep cool and protect them from sunburn and bugs.
Another good one. Thanks
Great video, I am enjoying learning with you about the IPPs. I hope to have some property where I can have some of my own here in north central Texas. Thanks for taking the time to share, Paul from Texas
New subscriber here!! Love your ease around the pigs. Leaned a lot already. And you did not repeat yourself constantly. Some shows are exhausting, had to cut them loose but you my friend are easy to listen to. Keep it up. Shout out from Houston
A pigs favorite thing is to be scratched! Used a dried out corn cob as a scratcher. They get so excited when they see you coming with one. We fed ours the table scraps and dried corn plus the cobs. Make him a scratch post out of a tree stump with the bark on. Always touch babies from head to tail, down the legs and too their feet from day one. Get them used to the corncob scratcher. It desensitizes them and you can do anything to them because they’re used to it. They also need a mud wallow. Just wet the ground until water pools up. They’ll take it from there. Because pigs don’t sweat, they can overheat easily. A wallow in the shade cools them all summer.
You’re my family & when I heard there was bad weather over Easter I couldn’t wait to see if u were ok 😃❤️praise God! I live near Phila,PA w/a lot of nurses in my fam so can u keep us in prayer too! Your videos are so precious! Thanks
Put an old bowling ball in with Mildred & Myrtle and you will be amazed at what they do.
We enjoy your videos so much.
Great. Keep up the good work.
They're so cute! They seem like a great breed!
"Toffee" he reminds me of a "Heath" candy bar. Due to the dark body and toffee colored leg/feet. Tasty also.
