Hog Roundup

No we didn't spray the hogs with roundup!
Our hogs tonight decided they wanted to be free range hogs. They bounced the gate open and went to town. Fortunately our dogs were out and are great watch dogs cause Delilah was barking her "hog bark". So Lisa say's to me "hogs are out" so off we dash for the roundup. This was not the first time they got out, nor the first batch to get out. Thank god for experience cause they're pretty easy to get back in if you know how. So if someone hasn't taught you or you haven't learned from experience it can be quite frustrating. But now we know and have the most powerful hog training item known to man, Goats milk. Just get some milk, put it in a bucket let the hogs have a little sip and then they'll follow you just about anywhere. Until you go by the pile of feather meal bags and they get a little smell of that, then you refocus them (give them another whiff) and off you go piggies to market or just back to the pen.I Love it when they make me look like a pro, cause boy a couple of years ago it was a site to see, us chasing hogs round lookin like rubes.
