In this short instructional video, the speaker outlines a practical five‑step process for relocating pigs to a new pasture. First, move and pre‑fill the water source so the water is weighted down when the pigs arrive. Second, clear the area where the new fence will be placed to prevent grounding and ensure the fence works effectively. Third, install a reliable hog fence, specifically recommending Premier One hog fences. Fourth, open a gap between the old and new fences to let the pigs naturally mosey over to the new area. Fifth, if any pigs are reluctant to move, bring feed to the new pasture as an incentive to encourage them to cross.

5 steps for moving your pigs to a new pasture. Number 1, we want to go ahead and move our water because we want our water to be weighed down by the time the pigs get in there, so it needs to be filling up. Number 2, we want to clear around the area where we're going to put the fence so that it does not ground out and is effective. Number 3, we're putting down our fence. I like Premier One hog fences. Number 4— number 4 and 5, sorry, we all make mistakes. Number 4, we open it up between our old fence and our new fence and let our pigs mosey on over. Number 5, if they didn't come over, bring over the fee and they will come.
