Two Pigs Leave the Farm

"Big Boy" as we came to call the fattest male pig on the farm, finally reached the prime slaughter weight of 250 lbs. Jeff and the butcher attempt to nudge the two largest pigs towards the opening where the trailer awaits.
After several failed attempts, they resort to "hog wrastlen" and drag them out holding an ear and tail. Honestly, it was one of the worst sounds Bonnie has ever heard.

In three weeks, we should get a freezer full of meat. Unfortunately, Bonnie will remain too traumatized to eat any of it.
