Before you put your pigs behind an electric fence, watch this!
One of the biggest mistakes new pig owners make is expecting pigs to respect an electric fence right away. In this video, I'll show you why it's so important to use a **training pen** for the first couple of weeks before relying on a single strand of electric wire.
Training your pigs to understand and respect electric fencing can save you from escaped pigs, damaged property, and a lot of unnecessary stress. I'll explain how to set up a simple training pen, how long to keep your pigs in it, and what signs to look for before turning them out onto electric fencing alone.
Whether you're raising feeder pigs, homestead pigs, or starting your first pig project, this simple step can make all the difference.
