20,000 hogs processed every day at just one plant. It’s offal that it is going to stop slaughtering hogs.
People living in fear and idiocy are killing this nation. “Cases” of covid doesn’t mean a damn thing.
Bullshit, they are one of the most destructive creatures on earth and breed like rabbits. Ask a Texan.
Unreal isnt it?
A hog gets out and they will become wild in a matter of days.
I think all of this sh*t is “New Deal” on steroids established by a cabal of socialists,communists,fascists and all other America haters.
If they ain’t fenced in kill’em. The other wild ones will eat them. Hell, buzzards gotta eat same as bugs, and worms. Leave them.
Just curious...how hard is it to convert processing plants from producing perishable product to non-perishable canned goods with no need for refrigeration and long shelf life?
It’s very hard to make money on hogs. In 1935 hogs were $0.50/lb and tractors were $500. Today hogs are $0.50/lb and tractors are $50,000.
Pardon me for pointing out that the tractors of 2020 are FAR DIFFERENT than those of an earlier generation.
Fwiw, our family were “good-sized players” in the swine production business from 1625, until the open range was CLOSED forever when I was a shirttail kid in the 1950s. -
About 2 weeks later my grandfather ordered a last roundup & sent every hog that we had to market.= Over 7,000 head went to Swift’s in Ft Worth, alone.

KAG2020!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reckon any gotta away? Selling the plants that process them to China was shear genius, when I was a kid we all had smoke houses and root sellars but I was just a kid then too.
#21. The only thing that is “offal” here at FR is your humor. Now don’t make a pig of yourself in the Comments Section. Nobody likes an internet hog. /sarc/sarc/BBQ
Absolutely the Chinese spread them through the Swine !!!!
FEW, I suspect, escaped, as “the men on the donkeys” were getting paid in cash “by the head” for every hog/shoat that they brought in at the last muster.
(Groups of stockmen like our family was for 3 centuries, in those long-ago days, were called “Ass Nomads”, as they herded swine into the mountains in the Summer to graze & then drove them into the river bottoms for each Winter, while mounted on donkeys/mules.)
Note: IF you have seen the move, OPEN RANGE, “Ass Nomads” were a very similar sort of mobile operation.= Only the kind of livestock was different.
Donkeys are cheaper to buy & more long-lived than horses, seldom get sick, do FINE on a diet without oats/expensive hay, are very surefooted, don’t “run off” at the first sign of trouble, usually need NO shoes (unless being ridden in rocky terrain) & are “plenty fast enough” to handle swine efficiently.

Yep I own a molly mule, grew up with hogs and no one worked that hard for nothing. Snakes didn’t get far on a hog farm. Hope this works out. Dead pig is good food. Going wild presents problems. I was About 7 years old and grandad was moving some sows with pigs and a big red boar. He told me to stay away from the hog wire fence. Didn’t listen well enough. The boar gotta hold of my pant leg and was dragging me through the fence. Uncle Phiiipp was ther with an oak club. He hit that hog and put him on his knees. Dam pig let me go and then I got my ass beat. I still love dead pig.
Looks like the Chomks (Chinese Communists) are being allowed to corner the hog market.
BBQ PORK is MY FAVORITE meat for meals.

Old timers used to call hogs mortgage payers, cause they were quite profitable.
