Notes from the Resistance
We briefly raised pigs. We had three. One day two of them got loose; at the time they weighed about 250-300 pounds each. We saw them out of their enclosure immediately and went out to herd/drive them back in.
In the maybe 10 minutes they were out, they uprooted, dug up, and turned over approximately 150 square feet of yard. Each. Thankfully it hadn’t rained in a week or so, so it was dry earth and didn’t get churned to mud, but truly, the capacity and ability for those snouts to completely destroy existing ground and foliage is impressive.
And those were domesticated hogs, not feral ones; they didn’t get territorial or aggressive when we came out to try and get them back into their pen. I can only imagine the nightmare a group of feral hogs could be for a rural farmer or homeowner.
