i have 25ft by 25ft paddocks with 3 pigs, i let them root it up, once it turned to dirt I moved them than added cover crops like timothy, grass mix and some legumes. All that came up were weeds with little grass. There was a lot of weeds to begin with though. What should I do different? You have great vids and Ill keep watching thanks!

+Mugsey1984 might not be proper disturbance on the soil when you seeded. It should be crumbled and loose. If compacted the seeds can't get into the soil.

It looks as though you are running about a dozen sows or so. In looking at profitable pig farming you would need many times that number of sows to pay for the land, equipment, and other essentials plus make a living wage in the process. I would estimate a minimum number of sows to accomplish this as somewhere between 500 and 1500 sows just for the minimum income. Of course, if you tell me that 12 sows pay for your operation I will have to re-think my info on it.
@FarmBuilder

There are 12-15 sows in each set we have. As of February 2019 we have 7 sets totalling about 100 sows. How many you would need for an income depends on your unique farm context, if you are selling the piglets or raising out to finish, etc..
@xx1590

!00 sows is getting into what I would call serious pig farming. I had not considered just selling piglets but I supose there is a feed factor in making that decsion. Also natural breeding that many sows Seems like when one gets in the 100 sow neighborhood AI is where a lot of people go. Thanks for the response.

You are into something between 2 and 3 thousand piglets depending on how the Boar system delivers newborns. I can see the commercial guys run at 10 thousand plus to pay for their operations but having something one is happy with that meets all their needs can be good enough.

Hi, I'm new to the channel and am really enjoying the content. Question, when you bring the pigs back, do you again let them forage down to bare dirt and overseed each rotation, or are they in the paddocks for a reduced time on subsequent visits. Or am I missing something? Thanks again for sharing this information.
@FarmBuilder

Pretty much down to disturbed soil each time. Rooting is less destructive after the first time.

When planting in the shade I'm taking it that it does well? I'm looking for a mix to do my self once I clear some saplings out. My pigs have gone through and done the same but I'm afraid the tree canopy will not let much germ. I'm in the midlands of SC
@FarmBuilder

how dense is your canopy? If solid evergreens the covercrop can struggle to come up. Deciduous tree canopy seems to work ok. Ideally I would like to clear out trash trees to something of a 30%-50% canopy.
