Oh yes.. the hatred is real. And justified. Everyone starts out with great expectations and then..... it happens. Let the hatred flow... yes...<br /><br />Those stupid pigz know when the fence is on or not ....and they still test it. Every.Stinkin'.Day. <br /><br />I bet that was one wild ride, Ian! ha! and yep - best to just stay away.... soon, tho, all the hard work and hatred will pay off in pork chops!Ohiofarmgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02606563929369721111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-91879400497732176982015-12-30T09:26:43.733-05:002015-12-30T09:26:43.733-05:00Yep, I can relate!

My grand daughter wanted us to get pigs when we had the acreage. No thanks. I still hate them! Anyway, great story. If I had a cup of coffee, I probably would have snorted it!

Problem with cattle is if they push through a fence its hard to get them back through a gate bcoz they didn't come that way. Just gets them confused. Also on the extra strong electric fence... our neighbor said he trains young cattle with a short electric fence near the water trough bcoz if they touch it with a wet nose its EVEN STRONGER! And once trained they never touch a fence again. Do pigs know when the fence is off? Our cows will not even step over a fence on the ground. It might bite them!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12874273438983052621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-55398821904053916362015-12-29T13:09:14.976-05:002015-12-29T13:09:14.976-05:00Was there a secret message sent to pigs yesterday ...Was there a secret message sent to pigs yesterday or what? Mine got out, thankfully nothing as dramatic as yours and the result of cloudy stormy days not recharging the solar fence thingy. And horomone fueled surges of bravery at stepping over the wire.<br /><br />Ive read your blog for several years. Its specifically why 6months ago, i was finally ready to get pigs and choose american guinea hogs in hope of not hating them.<br /><br />Let me tell your readers who are scratching there heads, as i was, on why you hate pigs. <br /><br />Even if you make them pets, even if you choose a "docile" small breed, all that is going to do is keep them from venturing too far when they escape. They will escape, they will fight at 2am, they are nocturnal, it will sound like a band of demons hissing with the gates of hell flung open wide in your barnyard, they will tear up any place they blessed well want to. And be late for chow enough times, they will eat your prize laying hen just because. And thats just for starters.<br /><br />Pig hatred is real...and justified.<br />Try it you'll see<br /><br />Im raising up a hot cup o coffee that may or not be spiked, to all my sisters who know just why we hate pigz!!!Moon-Shadowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09052583053645320073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-5415847456137855672015-12-29T11:40:07.997-05:002015-12-29T11:40:07.997-05:00Doesen't sound like those pigs will be going o...Doesen't sound like those pigs will be going on any more adventures.
