Thanks for the up date Riddick on a subject that's found it's way onto alternate news that MSM has mostly abandoned!
As a reformed and recovering habitual pig hauler from the 70's and 80's moving 1,500 to 1,800 per week. I know a lot about Swine 101. I had a reputation for keeping them all alive in very hot weather. Driving my rig safely was Number 1 and wetting them down by pouring in the hog market's free unlimited water supply was Number 2. Rushing automobiles coming up behind my rig pulling out safely in front of them on western KY's US 60 had them quickly dropping back and slowing down to about 20 mph! That legally expelled yellowish green water always prevented tailgaters for about 2 miles! You'da just had to been there to see that Riddick.
Pigs are resilient critters to say the least. They ARE part of the MEEK that could qualify one day as the small to tiny animal world's total inheritance of the planet after we humans have mucked up the place!
Wild boars do make great Guinea Pigs! We dumb and dumber humans are just second string to them............
MK II
As a bonus, a bit off topic but delving deeply into the paranormal world, I've always got a livestock truckin' story to tell. With my advertisement at Linnea's Fantastic Forum here is another one for the steadfast few pirates and our regular but very shy guests to ponder on........ No doubt no one reading this story will be as surprised as I was!
