This is Prince my 5 year old American guinea hog, potbelly, American mini Mix!

He used to be the sweetest boy and knows a bunch of tricks! Sadly he's quite territorial now and I have a scar to prove he doesn't mess around... I still love him to bits though even if I can know longer love on him❤️

Pigs scare me. They can do damage if they decide to. He's a good looking boy.

They absolutely can! I've grown up raising heritage pigs for meat. And even worked on a family friends pig farm in my early teens. I even worked with a 600lb Tamworth boar! And never had one charge me like my Prince did. I didn't even know he bite me until I saw the blood in the snow.. I got very lucky! And Prince will live out his years in peace with no one touching him or going in his pen.. unless it is 100% necessary! He's still spoiled rotten and gets a handful of Cheerios ever night!
You can't change what comes naturally to them and I don't blame him a bit for biting me.
 
We had two hogs that were being raised for meat. In the late fall it was time for them to go, the hogs were having no part of it. They became instantly mean!!! My husband's solution for this stale mate was to buy the hogs beer. Jerry mixed a couple of 6-packs of beer with their grain, and we waited. When they became mellow we loaded in to the stock-trailer and no one got hurt.
