Apologies to the OP. This may be the most derailed thread in the history of this forum!!

That was us, too, hogs, cattle, grains...and hogs are way smarter than cattle. We had a pet "pig", smarter'n any dawg we ever had. She made some real good bacon and side pork when she got big enough, too.
Almost felt like cannibalism but not quite.
(When it's a farm animal, its' "hog" but when it's a pet, it's "pig").
