Baymule's Pigs 2018 HEREFORDS!

[frustratedearthmother]

I've used a nipple waterer for pigs previously. So very convenient and much better than buckets - but ours always had a mud puddle under the nipple. You may not have that problem with your sandy soil. We ended up putting paver blocks under the nipple until the pigs got big enough to flip them over, lol.

I’ll take a puddle over %#£€¥ pigs turning over their water nano seconds after I fill it. And with the barrel on the OUTSIDE they can’t drag it off and hide it. It would be hard to hide a blue barrel, but sometimes I couldn’t find their tub and they got watered in their mud hole. (Previous pigs)

baymule, that hut looks great!

Agree 10000% that the nipple barrel is better than the bucket! I don't even water their puddles anymore - they go to the pond every day!

Ok y'all......I called it the Pig Palace and DH liked that name. So what do y'all like the best?
Pig Palace or Hawg Hut?

 

[frustratedearthmother]

OH definitely - PIG PALACE! The Hawg Hut has been replaced!

 

[CrealCritter]

Hawg Hut.

I saw a sign up on someone's gate years ago that I've been wanting to steal for my pigpens since: "Fort Snort"

Hawg Hut, totally. Fort Snort!! I love it! Lol

Fort Snort is cute, but we're going with Pig Palace!
