Do pigs have a tendency to escape?? The
field is actually set above the road, so they'd have quite a jump before
being on the highway, but there's no shoulder--so they'd be roadkill in a
second!


Liz,

We have had great luck using a 2 or 3 strand electric fence to keep pigs
in. They are so afraid of it that we often have trouble getting them out
of the pen and to the barn to load to take them to the processor. We
haven't had any get out when training them, but in your situation, it
might be a good idea to train them to the electric fence in a secure
location or buy pigs from a source that uses electric fences.
