The natural name for him is Big Red. He stands taller then our sows and has obvious tusks. His hair is super curly and yesterday I said he was probably the ugliest pig I've ever seen. This morning he looks quite a bit better. He's not a foody or a fighter so far. He should make super cute piglets, and, as always, I'll be happy to see him go when he's done his job. Boars are not pets and I'll be nervous until he goes. Thankfully he has been well electric fence trained and the sow pen is farther from the house then has ever been before.
The Bible calls debt a curse and children a blessing. But in our culture we apply for a curse and reject blessings. Something is wrong with this picture.
