Pig Pen Paradise

It's been a great few weeks. Lots of great family activity and BBQ season is in full swing at our place. We have also been working on our new pig pens over the past weeks.

So we brought home Celeste and her two brothers a few weeks ago and they pretty much found every way they could to escape their pen. Nothing impresses visiting family more than herding pigs! So everyone got into it and we now have two fantastic pig pens.

One pen Celeste and her brothers will be moving into and the other will be for the new weiner pigs that are arriving next weekend. Still a few things to finish off on the pens but they are so gorgeous I couldn't wait to share pictures of the process.

Step 1 - Clear area that you are fencing. In this case we also
made a gate so that the pigs can have their own pasture to roam in.

Step 2 - Dig a trench around the fence line. Pigs like to dig down
so the first board is halfway into the trench and then a
log is buried in front of the board.

Step 3 - This is what the fence line looks like with the
buried log. Then you fill the dirt in around the log
and then place your fence boards at regular intervals.

Step 4 - Make sure you make all new gates conneting everything.
And then they have to line up with current structures.
