One pig was loaded yesterday, and one pig escaped the pen. Ugghhh! Rick and I came to the conclusion the young kids were pure rookies loading pigs. Even I could guess what the next move the pig was thinking before he did it, they had no clue. "Don't let him push through that side!!" Fell on empty ears as I watched the young man do not a thing. .....and Pinky was loose. The pen not being secure was my fault. We chased him around for 1 1/2 hours. As they were leaving the driveway I finally lured him back into the pen with food.
I don't think Pinky sees well. I mean worse than other pigs. According to the young men he was the worst pig they ever had to load. What??? I raised a rogue pig??? I don't think so. I think he can't see well and wasn't going to go into that dark truck. And he's big. And if he wants to turn around he will. And he did. Gordo walked right in for food. (they brought the ramp this time)
The search is on for a different processing place -- I'm not doing "strike three".
