This is the fourth video in my Animals on the Homestead Series.

ANIMALS ON THE HOMESTEAD VIDEO 4 – PIGS

A FEW THINGS TO CONSIDER

  • Pigs can be used for other purposes besides just food.

  • Pigs will eat waste food and garden scraps.

  • Some varieties of pigs have lost a lot of their maternal instinct.

  • Not all dietary restrictions allow for the consumption of pig products.

  • Pigs can grow very large and become harder to manage or interact with.

  • Pigs can be used to till soil and prepare garden areas.

  • Pigs are intelligent and can be trained.

  • Piglets can be sold as a possible source of income (as can the adults).

Dear @papa-pepper wonderful information n your style is impressive that how you are holding pig without any fear. well are pigs still available on large scale.and inwhich country these are found?

Great series... what does the Diatomaceous Earth do for them?

It kills parasites like worms but it is natural. It is made up of the pulverized remains of fossilized hard shelled sea critters.

This post gave lot's of information about animal #homesteading

You are a real farmer, you have crazy posts, I'm interested in how to get a silver steem @papa-pepper

Thanks for the info. We're thinking about a couple pigs for the homestead to clear certain areas and for food later. Making the move to our homestead in late winter.

Yup thumbs up on that pig reduces our food wastes and thats alot of help

Thanks for sharing @papa-pepper. I am always interested in the words @papa-pepper at the end of the post. I've started investing in my account, to increase the power of Steem power slowly. So that I can later reward the original work of my followers. Sorry if I'm wrong in commenting. Success to papa.

it's cool to see real farmers steeming. There's definately a need for this info for people who want to change their lifestyle

Yesterday, i got to witness a pig nursing her piglets. Though I felt bad her movement was constricted with a fence. I also witness a pig being slaughtered. Yay
