We recently moved our three Berkshire Piglets, Larry, Curly, and Moe, to new pasture and Moe came over to say Thank You! Pigs are funny, endearing, and like to express their love and tenderness and thankfulness by rubbing and wagging their tails! Just watch this Video…

We brought Larry, Curly and Moe, our Berkshire Pigs home to Briden Farm on March 27, 2022, when they were just ten weeks old. They’re now about 17 weeks old.
We’ve actually had them on Woodland Pasture since their arrival. Introducing them to Electric Wire Fencing a couple weeks ago. It’s first time using Electric Wire Fencing for pigs, and I really wondered! t’s hard to believe you can string a couple, or three strands of wire, hook it to a fence charger, and have those pigs stay in their pasture! It’s incredible to see…
I could watch them All day! They’re incredible to watch! Seeing how they interact, how the work, and how they recognize things like the white fence posts and electric wires. You can literally see that they recognize it!
If you’ve never sat and watched Pigs work! We invite You to come spend sometime at Briden Farm. Call Now to Book A Time to Visit. Call Brian at (902) 907-0770
Training Pigs to Electric Fence for the first time! Theirs and Ours! Last Year was the first time we raised Pigs, and we did it inside the rotational pastures we had fenced with Mink Cages. I try to move our goats through an area and then follow with the Pigs. However, Last year we encountered a few challenges… like having to move not only the Goats and Pigs, but also having to move the cages. Moving the cages every two weeks not only takes a lot of work, it also takes a lot of time. Not to mention the hazard of slipping and falling on our hillsides, or twisting and damaging our backs, etc. The cages work well, but if I can train the pigs to electric fence it will make things much easier! Plus give us some of our time back!
Our Goats do very well in Electric Netting, and as long as we rotate them often enough, every two weeks will work great, and that’s how often pigs should be moved. So, indications are the pigs should do well in the electric wire, so that will lighten our load, allow us to cover more ground, easier, and have even happier Goats, Pigs, and maybe Farmers too! T
