It can be done, there's a farmer down the road from me who does, just have to make sure they respect the fence and expect the shock, not trying to tell a man his business but I would put some marking ribbon on the fence until the hogs get used to it so when they see the ribbon they associate that with pain, whenever I find a spot where some yearlings are going through a fence I'll fix the fence and put marking ribbon on the gap I fixed so that when they come back to use the gap they'll see the ribbons and notice something is different and will slow down and check out the ribbons in return realizing the fence has been fixed, they used to just go right through the gap again not knowing the fence was there and I would have cut up yearlings along with money and time wasted fixing a fence. You could also fence off a spot where you plan on putting a spring garden and winter the hogs there that way the soil is organically fertilized and aerated and just move the pen in the spring where you want a winter garden.
thank you sir. Thats pretty much the plan. We want to dive in head first and next year we are going to try our best to cut the grocery store bill WAY DOWN. Im always open to new ideas and things that have been tried and tested before.
