Video Transcript

"Alright continuing on with the subject of pigs, one of the big issues of pigs is housing them and we just built this brand new building this year. One of the biggest things that we had to make sure of for our pigs was making the wire fences completely being submerged into the ground. Because pigs have this incredible way of rooting through the dirt with their noses, they can be the wonderful escape artists and can lift up gates or lift up the wire fencing. You can see at the bottom of all of our gates here, we have wooden boards surrounding it and underneath the dirt we also have wooden boards that go significantly deep into the ground so they cannot find their way out. This is one of the big problems that people have in owning pigs. "
