Things like this should tell folks what this NAIS plan is really about….......our money! They’ve picked on the worng people! Lots of common sense!

FYI. Here at the Bastrop Texas Extension Service Meeting . A person asked the A&M doctor about the wild hog problem, what were they going to do about them, how were they going to tag them. We have lots of wild hogs.
The Vet replied that wild animals really did not pose a problem because they did not generally mix with domestic livestock. He was just about laughed  out of the sales barn.

Wild hogs will come up in your yard and root.  I have seen hogs grazing with cattle. A buddy of mine that raises hogs over in Seguin know of instances where wild boars  jumped over the hog pen fences and bred the show sows!  Can you imagine their faces when a show duroc sow litters and delivers little black wild piglets !

Seems the main disease vector is cash. If they can collect tax monies from owners then they are problem but if they are wild and belong to the state they don’t propagate disease. Funny how free-range chickens are a danger but free-range hogs don’t!
