Ridgetop - our place and how we muddle along

[Ridgetop]

Perhaps he was crying out for attention?

Subsequent pig tales will show how far we have come in our journey. First lesson learned, never have 7 hogs in one pen. In fact, never have 7 hogs ever again! Later hog raising episodes were much more fun with only one or two pigs.
On the other hand, they never reached the level of family legends!

Maybe he had "little pig syndrome."

Move to East Texas, you'll see people rope and handle feral pigs that make 'devil pig' look angelic.

It's how we used to get some of dad's more ornery farm pigs loaded too.

Greybeard:
The promise of feral pigs like Devil Pig is hardly an inducement to come to east TX! On the other hand, we don't have to weigh them and can catch them with a rifle. Sausage is sausage!

That is a good point, I doubt many people try to move feral hogs with pig panels.

Better start buying ammo now.............there's no shortage of them critters, tho to be honest, most people I see that move here from other than Southern and some midwest states, are loathe to shoot anything...they tend to bring their idiosyncrasies with them..or, are so woefully inexperienced that they aren't at all successful with it.

Perhaps they change their minds when the feral hogs destroy their property?

They must all be Gentleman Farmers (or wannabees) that don't need to make a profit?
