Default This was a little different.

I walked out to my backyard near my trailer and out of the corner of my eye I saw a small black colored animal scoot to the opposite side of the trailer. I thought, that was a strange looking little dog with a curly tail! So, I went around the front of the trailer and saw it. It was a little piglet. It scampered off into the wooded area behind my neighbors house. I don't live in the city but rather in suburbia with a lot of open/wooded areas around between the different sub-divisions. No farms nearby but there are several places with acreage off to one side at the rear of my property but no one that does any rowcrop harvesting, mostly just pasture land, so I am assuming it probably got out from one of them. It was not a pot bellied pig but just a domestic hog. About the only thing that would keep a little guy like that in would be a wood fence. Hog wire would have to big of an opening for one that small. If you raised hogs in open fields you had to have it "hog tight" fenced. I was born and raised on a farm in SW Iowa so I know the difference between a pot bellied hog and a domestic hog. I farmed myself during the first year after I graduated from HS but then decided I didn't want to work 24/7/365 so we rented out the farm ground. There is farm ground within a couple miles of me that graze cattle, I would guess some are around 100 acres. Travis Tritt has about 30 acres 5 miles from me.
