PORTABLE PENS
Examples of Portable Pens
The pen shown below is comprised of four 16-feet-long hog panels arranged in a square shape and simply tied together at each corner with baling twine. It is easy to drag across the pasture one corner at a time. The Guinea Hog piglets shown are enjoying the pasture and did not move their pen.

Happy Hogs in Their Shelters
The photos below show a different configuration in which the 16′ panels have been bent to create a 4′ x 12′ rectangle, and uses cement blocks hanging from the panels to help prevent the hog(s) from moving the pen. These hogs are happy with shelter overhead and grass underfoot.
