During WWII many people in Texas raised pigs because they were cheap, prolific breeders and Armour had a processing plant in Fort Worth. Lots of hogs were made into spam for the US troops.
It was easy to build a pen, buy a few dozen pigs and feed em scrap. Problem was the pigs get hungry. Cheap pens would not hold ‘em, so out they went.
The really cheap pig ranchers just used nose rings to hold them.
Just like those nose rings your daughters and granddaughters wear!!

Proverbs 11:22

As a ring of gold in a swine’s snout
So is a beautiful woman who lacks discretion.
