We don't rent pigs, but....

There's a lot of lard on this little piggy. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they couldn't afford to feed it in the manner it wanted to become accustomed to. Maybe they even put it on a diet, and it went out begging for as much food as it had become used to extorting from the people it owned.

Anyway, it seems like a relatively gentle way to get the goats accustomed to the fact that they may be royalty, but they aren't the only royalty on a working farm.

Just a little late for trick or treating...

Rubes would take home a piglet believing they were full size. (Can't tell you how many ruined back yards left behind by renters we would get calls about when I was doing landscaping. They looked like bomb sites.)

I'm gonna keep my eyes peeled for pork chops on the hoof from now on!

Yep, thats mine lol Someone dumped him off here in the spring, and he has just stayed on. He doesn't eat as much as you would think, and he has slimmed down from that picture some. But Hector is quite the character, I think its too late for him to become pork chops since he has a name
