This week we are working on building some permanent infrastructure for our Tamworth sows- we are only a few weeks shy of our Tamworth sows farrowing and so we needed to get them into their own pens for the safety of the piglets!
This has been an exciting journey this year- learning and experiencing pig farming! We got our girls in February and added our Tamworth boar a few months later! The gestation time for a Tamworth pig is 3 months, 3 weeks and 3 days or 114 days approximately.
Tamworth pigs are hardy and adaptable creatures- known for their ability to thrive in various climates and conditions. They are well suited for outdoor living and can withstand colder temperatures.
Tamworth's have a wonderful foraging ability- with a strong natural instinct for foraging and rooting- it makes them excellent at finding food and helps reduce feed costs and provides them with a more natural diet.
Tamworth's are also efficient converters- they are known for their efficient conversion of feed into meat- they have good growth rates and produce high-quality, flavorful pork.
Tamworth's are also docile- they are generally known for their calm and friendly temperament- which makes them easier to handle and work with on a homestead.
They are also wonderful mothers (we can't wait to share their farrowing here in the next few weeks)- The sows are typically good mothers- attentive to their piglets and have strong maternal instincts.
Along with the build of their new pig pens and the relocation of the sows- we also share a little about building our homestead from the ground up- what we started with and where we are at currently.
Me- (Cassie) I also share some outdoor homemaking- and how I love to create a rustic, warm and inviting outdoor space for our family and friends to enjoy here on the farm!
We hope you enjoy this video- we would love for you to like and subscribe to our channel where we share our family farm, southern recipes, and natural living :)
God Bless!
