I worked on a hog farm in the summer of 1971 and we sent truckloads of hogs that size to the packing plant in town. You’re just wasting feed after that.

There is an old tale about a Texas ranch hand who went off to a corner of the hog pasture to take care of nature’s call, and while he was squatting, the pigs ate him....

You don’t want to fall down on the feed floor, because if you are unable to get back up, pigs demonstrate they also love bacon.

Yours.

Pigs are omnivores, and very crafty predators.

And they never stop growing, which is why there are 1,200 pound Hogzillas running through the woods from time to time.

No pig has ever died of old age. Circulatory problems, and even cancer, and other larger predators (including other pigs), most pigs die a violent death at a relatively early age. Most pigs that go to market are five and a half to six months old.
