His back line is just ABOVE the wired portion of the fence. He is huge. But he is very calm and gentle. Still don't want to go in there and get up close and personal though. He was in a tiny pen made of scraps of wire, pallets and tin. He could have sneezed on it and blown it down.
I found a deal on a huge boar. His name is Wilbur and he is a Red Wattle. He got too big to breed their sows, so he went up for sale. The lady who owned him couldn’t put him in the freezer, he was her first pig and a pet. He is very calm and gentle. But she became afraid of Wilbur because he wanted to rub on her, affectionately, but because of his size, it was dangerous.
We picked him up today. I took boiled eggs and he walked up in the trailer to eat them. We unloaded him and he walked around his new pen.
He went in the Pig Palace and ate corn.
He is over 3 feet tall.
Wilbur is a BIG boy!
We’ll feed him soured corn, milk, alfalfa cubes and hay for 4-6 weeks, then take him to slaughter.
Operation costs are high for a helicopter....I suspect the annual liability insurance they carry is pretty steep too.
DH's dad was an Army pilot. I get your last statement. He was shot down several times. Never stopped hin from going back up though.
