Make sure you got ear plugs. Build a wood trough big enough for the pig with one end open.(FeederPigs) Nail an old piece of tire about 6 inches back from closed end. Piece needs to be about 4 inches wide. This will hold his nose. You want a piece of chain just a little forward of where his hind legs will be and make it nailed on one side and a hook on the other side so that it is adjustable. Stick him in upside down, pull the hind legs forward and lock that chain over. Old swing chain works. Now your ready. When you get done throw some burnt motor oil on to keep flies off it. In the event that anyone has a ruptured pig , you have to sew him up. I always used 2X8 oak to make the trough. Chain can be bolted or nailed but its got to be real secure. I done hundreds like this. Make the trough according to size of pig. You may need 2X6 instead of 2X8. It needs to be three boards shaped U style.
