Pigs on pasture, or dirt, is an uncommon sight, but it doesn’t need to be. They can be put to work cleaning the garden, rooting out old stumps, or following cattle after their pasture rotation. And there is a demand for non-conventionally produced pork.
For fencing, our choice is portable electric netting, which is lightweight, durable and adaptable to dips and curves in difficult terrain. It arrives at your door as a complete roll with the posts already built-in. Rolls are easy to carry, quick to install and remove after the pigs have foraged and are ready to move to a new location. Just attach a fence energizer to electrify the net.
Pigs are easily contained by electric netting
Due to their excellent foot-to-ground contact, pigs can be easily contained by electric netting. Keep in mind, pigs are smart and will test low-voltage fences and go through them or under when it’s off. That’s why it’s important to properly electrify the net and to train domestic pigs to electric fences.
