Today I was going to greet my sheep, and the pigs were pacing the fence looking for food. I was about halfway across the field and I heard a "clink" on the fence and I turn around and see a pig running towards me. The barrows have been so mean in the past especially Kevin who has the longer snout. He gave me a nice bruise on my butt a few months ago where I had trouble walking without pain. I had to assess the situation quickly as those pigs can cover a significant amount of ground in a few seconds. I was relieved when I saw that it was in fact Tubby with the shorter snout. I saw him getting closer and closer and I was bracing for impact, but he trotted past me. Imagine being in a 100x30 pen and then getting into a few acre field, I don't blame him for wanting to explore. After he ignored me, my next concern was the sheep and alpacas, I was afraid he would attack or chase my pregnant girls, but he ignored them and just started munching on the grass. We ended up catching him when we put some treats down. I grabbed his back legs and my dad tackled the front end. We put him back in his pen, but it was definitely an interesting experience. Hot wire is being added to the pen ASAP! For all those wondering, he went over the fence I kept telling my dad they would but he wouldn't believe me
