It always amazed me how one pig could keep pushing up on the gate until the flipper moved enough for the pig to open the gate and then run up and down the aisle pushing the flippers up. Pretty soon you got pigs everywhere. And once they learn something is loose… Semi-pro tip: make sure your exit doors are secure. 🙂

I can relate to pigs breaking out and when that starts to happen it's time to sell, otherwise they will keep doing it. Been down that road to many times even with outside pigs.

The question most often asked .Did you pin the gate. You know the answer is yes. Why do we ask , nobody wants to say they forgot. Pigs look good just don't make eye contact at that size they might have a heart attack. Merry Christmas.

Your right not everyday is a good day... I ran a cotton gin for 31 years 12/7 everyday was a Monday... the moment it broke down, I had to bypass the cotton it just had to keep on moving... sometimes if it's not the gin it's the employees, they like to hide and sleep while others were working... after the cotton gin I made parts for General Motors, it's different and easier for me... I worked for 15 years at GM I'm now retired, my wife left me best thing I won the big lottery, ii got 400 million my ex wanted me back... I'm fine being single, I bought a Prevost vacation bus... I get to visit my brother's and sisters and share the intrest with them every year... it's a beautiful life now, I thank God every Day.

@Jackadoor2 жыл бұрын
The trailers aren't "heated" per-say. They have winter panels that cover most of the air vents. Then the combined body heat of the pigs keeps them warm enough until they can get to their new home. In the time I've been loading wean pigs in Indiana for farms Central Kansas, I haven't heard of any pigs unaliving themselves due to cold.

@@ericmalone3213 I think if you know how the majority of ingredients taste, you can gauge whether or not you'll like a dish. And what other dishes it will go with. I've never tried pickled pigs feet, and I'm not that interested in "knawing" at my own feet either. And Mountain Dew is too sweet and has too much caffeine. But thanks for the tip.
