Some things should be forgiven. Just like cussing at automotive engineers.

Gtidwell · Jul 13, 2022

Agree sir. I have done both.

Hogs are worse especially if it is a bright sunny day outside and rather dark in the barn. Pigs didnt seem to like going from dark space to a bright one.

This might be one of the reasons for that!

Just across the border from me in Ohio last week. Two guys trying to load two steers to take to local butcher.
One guy dead the other guy severely injured.

I found the easiest way to load hogs was to get them backwards hear the chute. Then put a 5 gallon bucket over their head.

They'd try to back out of the bucket and you could back them right up the chute.

Bruce from Can. · Jul 13, 2022

We used to put a bucket over a sows head to get her to back out of a crate. Trying to load 50 market ready hogs on to a truck with a 5 gallon pail, whole different deal.

I have a friend who wanted to help his dad load hogs when he was still a small boy, and his mom said no. His answer to mom, I'm big enough, and already know all the words...

I can't say I have ever needed or used foul language to do anything since I got my mouth washed out with soap one day and a week later a very good talking to. My mother made it very clear that for every idle word I would have to give account for one day

I have loaded almost every animal that gets farmed and must say there are right ways and wrong ways and the best way is to just sit back relax and let the animal go on it's own. has never failed me yet. You may think it takes longer to sit down on a pail and wait but I guarantee you that if you time how often people get so upset and rant a rave, chase them 5 times before getting the job done it took longer than me. I have worked at many farms where the animals don't know me and it works the same there. calm and sloooooooooooowww always gets the job done.

I remember my dad talking about a parish priest when he was a boy. He was from somewhere back east and was new to farm country in NE Kansas. He had remarked how the rural people seemed more honest and strong in their faith. But he just could not get over the foul language he heard and was confessed to him on a regular basis. It was explained him that the reason for that the farmers in the area were constantly working with horses and cows and you just couldn't do it without using profanity.

I like watching the show The Greatest Race where they travel around the world and have to perform certain tasks that are local to the part of the globe they are at. In one episode they had to load a donkey and lead it up a mountain side. One couple couldn't get their donkey to move. I laughed and said there was no way they could broadcast an episode of me working with a donkey that wouldn't move. Between the 5 minute long BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP and the physical abuse that would get doled out they have to destroy the tape to keep their FCC license.

OOPS, I am in trouble then. LOL Kow Farmer Kurt

Hogs are to smart for their own good. They know what to do to cause problems. Needless to say they found out otherwise. RB

I have always thought hogs reason to live is make someones life as misable as they can. and to make a new hole in in the fence
I learned lots of new words when dad had a disagreed heifer to milk.

God forgives those who use foul language while loading hogs. Which leads me to another story. When I was growing up all forms of foul language was strictly forbidden on our farm. I was possibly 16 years old, we were loading fat cattle. The trucker was in the barn with us following the cattle to the section of the barn where the chute was set up. One of the Herefords had a wide rump, the trucker noticed the wide rear end and proclaimed "yep, it s as wide as a school marm s a##. The use of that word about stopped me in my tracks. I was waiting for dad to admonish the trucker but we just kept on progressing with the cattle without any more extra language. It made such an impression on me I still remember it from 55 years ago.

oldsarge · Jul 14, 2022

I'll bet they were facing the donkey and pulling backwards,right???? Won't work !!!!!!!!!

Rich'sToys · Jul 14, 2022

Never had to load hogs when growing up, but I've heard plenty of stories. One common consensus was that the head is always on the wrong end!
