Al and Gina yes it was worth it. You work together and have fun. All of your animals know who you are. I’m 73 and have so much fun watching you build property.

Good morning, love watching you both, your our favorite!! My husband used to raise pigs and said you should put a rail around the bottom of sweet potato's maternity ward so she doesn't squish her babies against the wall. More words of wisdom from your peeps. Stay strong!

It is as you always say, you know the quality going into the meat and you know you are eating healthy safe food. That guarantee would cost you triple or quadruple what you paid.

Al & Gina we have been watching your journey for a few years now and we’ve been entertained and informed of what it takes to have a successful homestead. Keep up the good fight. Love you guys so much! From Winnipeg, Canada

Hi Al & Gina. I’ve been watching you just after you started this journey in your old homestead. Yes you made the right decision and it payed off for you.

Brutus is still a pup. He'll never be overweight with all that land to roam. I had an Old English Mastif, and it took him 3 years to get to 200 lbs. Big dumb 🐕

All and Gina, I tried to comment on your video with your momma pig that's due soon, but for some reason I can't leave a comment there. I'm guessing 12 piglets, and I wanted to ask if you have considered making an escape space for piglets. Many piglets are killed by the momma mostly because they get stepped on or layed on. Usually a high enough board fence to let babies under into a safe area and high enough to keep the momma out. My dad had to build an escape area for a large pig with 15 babies after they were born. She almost killed him. Got a few babies before the farmer had him rescue them. Rainies on homestead rescue showed a pig farmer how to build it. It sure helps all the piglets survive

I watched that video with you breaking down the numbers. I heard how much each pig cost you from start to finish, but with the nine boxes how many pounds of finished product did you get? And the weight that you gave was it hung weight or the amount of meat that ended up being processed? Did you keep the fat to render lard? I love watching all of your videos. I heard about your channel from the shop talk podcast. I've been watching Jason & Ben for a long time! You're such a perfectionist like me! I love all of your clean finishing work.

One question what is your favourite cordless drill as I'm thinking of getting a new one but I'm born between Milwaukee n DeWalt?

Brutus weight makes sense due to age, the amount of space he has, exposure to the weather and diet. We don't see him running but he has the stimulation of being in nature to encourage movement. With regards to the meat, what price do you put on peace of mind?

I thought 150 for Brutus. I was kind of surprised when you said how much he weighed. But I can also see why he would be lighter. He does follow you guys around a lot.

I was surprised how much it costs ,way over priced for the normal person? You guys are kidding right?

The look on Gina's face says it all- I would not be able to send my livestock off for butchering. I understand that's the point I'm all your efforts, but those animals have developed a bond of trust with you and I personally wouldn't be able to break that trust. Not judging; you are truly inspiring but for me I guess I would have to stick to eggs, berries and veggies.
