TLDR/ I need extreme bite-proof gauntlets/work gloves for the hand. (Don't think cow leather will work).
Suggestions requested
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey, been raising my own Mangalica (Boy) and Hereford (girl) pigs. Goal being to make feeder pigs, to sale/eat. Now the Manalicia is about what you expect from a boy... a dick but a predictable one. The girl however is super out going, jumps on the pen to try to see us when we are around and goes crazy for snacks/treats.

We used to hand feed them (throw it on the ground now) treats... marshmallows. However, she (I think) still associates my hand for treats and has actually tried to bite it (came close, wife saved me once) in a non-aggressive manner. I think maybe me being pale white, marshmellows being pale white... thinks I am food? Idk either way... I see them straight up bite chunks out of full grown trees. I don't think standard leather gloves would save my hand...

Any suggestions on bite-proof gauntlets for my hand? Like I said we just toss treats on the ground now... but she still trys to eat my fingers if I leave them still too long.
 
Could also look at gloves meant for protection when using a mandolin slicer. Not surevthey are long enough for what you want.

How big/large are the Manglitsa & Hereford pigs that you have? Have you raised litters yet? Do you run them on movable paddocks?
