[QUOTE="Hogfarmer10, post: 1844140, member: 41451"] Easy to keep them in a hot wire. Be sure to train them to it. I have a pen surrounded by hog panels with an electric fence set about 16” inside. When learning the electric fence, they will almost always run through the fence instead of backing away from it. It usually takes about a week for them to learn it. If you’re going to only have a few pigs on such a big acreage, I don’t think you’ll have to worry as much about mud and rooting, although they still will root and make a mud hole to lay in. Some breeds perform better on pasture vs confinement, but in this area, it’s common to find a combination of both- on pasture but still getting a full ration of grain. I’m not far from you and I’m glad to answer any questions you have [/QUOTE]
