We used to have a farrow to finish operation, about 200 sows(my Daddy and Uncle ran it). The 1998 prices put us on contract until we quit in 2015. We're thinking about getting a couple of feeder pigs to finish out for the freezer, but we got rid of our original hammer mill/mixer, since we weren't using it anymore. We have a hammer mill similar to yours but smaller I think, and ours doesn't have the cyclone chamber on the output spout. Is that to take some of the dust out of the feed? Our mill/mixer used to have one on it, but I never saw much dust come out of it. My son and I really enjoy your videos.

I'm not sure what that thing does , I think it has more to do with bagging . Porks going to get expensive soon so now would be a good time to feed your own

I grew up using that hammer mill with the belt drive, my daddy raised hogs for many years, just the way you do it, brings back good memories. I'm actually looking for one of those hammer mills, I'm going back to raising old style hogs. Love the videos nd I pray u get better

I used a burr mill for years it's a little slower if you can't find a hammer mill that might be an option. Appreciate the support it means a lot

I know this has to be a huge relief. I couldn't be happier if I were twins. Love the double V belts instead of the single, flat belt. Everyone and their brother sells V belts. Would hardware cloth across the "Mouse door" impede the air flow too much? -KJ

Can this grind acorns? I was thinking you could chop acorns and put them in a grocery bag in the freezer to kill bugs. Then you might be able to accumulate enough acorn meal for the pig you process for yourself. -KJ
