free pigs

The first time we moved pigs near my sheep, the LGD’s hadn’t seen the pigs up close, and they flipped out they got over it though!

when we were castrating the male the dogs were trying to eat him through the wire. the noise just drives em nuts

That noise definitely makes me want to eat my pigs too! It is literally ear splitting!

It is pretty awful!

Our current free pig. We just give him our table scraps and if we don’t have anything else he gets a little corn but the neighbors also been walking over with scraps.

There is an episode of Dr. Oakley Yukon Vet where she learned about hog flipping. Apparently if you flip them onto their back they relax and don't squeal.

i can tell you that didnt work with this one.

I saw that episode and while it worked for feet trimming - I can't see any animal tolerating being castrated because they're flipped on their back.

Single bottom plows, just where you don't need any plowing done.
