Now All The Pigs Are Gone 😱

[@raccoontrashpanda1467]

The fact that you care enough about the pigs welfare to spend a couple of days feeding them in the trailer so they can used to it and aren't scared on their last drive really shows how much you care for your animals. Thats why I love this channel so much.

[@h.s.6269]

Exactly. Many small time farmers and homesteaders do their best to live by "only one bad day." And even then you want it to be as stress-free as absolutely possible. That's why I much prefer the idea of butchering at home instead of usda, because the trip there and the wait before their turn... and usually the workers don't give a shit about the stress and fear and just rush.

Very interesting to see the land management aspect of Morgan's way of raising just a few pigs in a controlled way - wild or feral pigs are a whole other story and can be incredible destructive.
