Video: 1,100 Pigs Just Got Delivered



1,100 pigs showed up today, and every empty pen in this barn is full by dark. The semi backs in, the chute drops, and it's all hands sorting pigs down the aisles until the whole barn is wall to wall. And that's only half the day. The other delivery is a brand new CAT 275 skid steer, and Tork gets to drive it off the flatbed first. New pigs, new iron, and a barn that goes from empty and washed to full and loud in one afternoon. This is what a big day on a pig farm looks like.
