The Big Question
Who's the guy that catches the Pigs to Grease them?
A strong opponent
Having raised a pig or two, I understand the looks on these boys' faces. A pig as small as fifty pounds has the strength of two men, or at least it seems that way.
Once, I asked my brother-in-law to hold one down while I gave it a wormer shot. He struggled like a rodeo cowboy on top of that pig, while I tried to place the needle.
My brother-in-law doesn't speak to me anymore, but he'll never have worms.
