Blasphemy! Lonesome Dove was one of my favorite books back in college, and Gus McCrae would surely have called it a shoat.
He wrote the sign, though. Hehe, read it again, it's so great. A shoat is a hog under a year old, the text calls one of Gus's pigs "the shoat" and the other "the gilt" (a female hog that's never had a litter.)
