Throughout his years of raising pigs, Tom Frantzen has used many styles of farrowing huts. Last winter, he combined the best elements of previous huts into a new style of farrowing hut: the “practical farrowing box.”

In this Live from the Farm, Tom explains how to build the box, the required materials and cost. Watch Tom’s presentation to view a completed box and hear about the process. Use the links below to access the materials list, blueprints and reference photos needed to build your own!
