We shut both of our feeders down last weekend because pigs are dominating both of them. One feeder has no fence around it but that will change this summer. The feeder we do have fenced we used cattle panels and the piglets are squeezing through the fence and wiping the corn on the ground out every morning. What have you done to piglet proof a fenced feeder?

Pig fence helps, but the piglets will dig under it so....
Never been to a camping world. I prefer Dick's to be honest.

Use hog panels, the bottom has small enough openings to prevent piglets from getting in. Never had any problems with digging under, make sure your pens are big enough, 10 panels is my minimum usually use 12 - 16 arranged in a circle. T posts every 8'.

My feeder pen is 48' square, made with 34" tall hog panels. 6" posts at the corners with T-posts every 8'. Been up 3 years and to my knowledge not a single hog has made it in.
In the end, it's not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years.
