When i had hogs years ago i put out 3 acres of rape and turned the hogs in on it, they mowed it down. :) It looked like a huge cabbage patch, the hogs ate it before it bloomed much, had a sow pig in it and i couldn't go in that field until the piglets got big enough to come and eat at the trough with the sow so i could lock them out. You won't find any animal meaner than a sow with pigs. :o. Jack

 I can say brookbeefarm that I can relate to that on a sow with piglets, my sister and I try to catch one when we were small and living on a farm in north Ga., we got out of the pen just in time and I though she would knot the fence down to get us so we ran off as fast as we could. Didn't mess with the little ones after that.
