A producer I work with has hogs and cattle. He’s been learning stockmanship for his cattle and invited me over to help load some fat hogs.

They work exactly the same as cattle, sheep and alpacas!

In one week I’ve had the opportunity to drive cattle, sheep, alpacas, and hogs; it doesn’t get much better than that!

When we spoke in Canada in March, we met Nancy Lidster who, with her husband Don, has developed an excellent video on handling confinement pigs using stockmanship techniques they learned from Bud Williams.

Check out their web page here.

These techniques work with all types and classes of livestock!
