We have been so busy blogging has fallen by the wayside.
If you follow the blog, our first attempt at moving our pigs out to pasture was not very successful - see here.
It was a great learning experience however.
*Make sure your fence is properly grounded, 1 rod per joule. Our charger is 1.5 joules so I used 2 rods this time, instead of 1.
*Pigs do not like walking up steep inclines (i.e. 5 foot plywood up to the bed of the pickup), longer ramp into a trailer is best.
*Give your pigs access to what they will be moved in so they get used to it.
Loading, transporting, and unloading went very smoothly this time, we had one little hiccup once they were unloaded though...
With everyone back in and relaxed, pig bliss ensued.
