Hogs #7 and #8

We recently released two more hogs and both seem to be sticking around. Since the release of hog #6 we have been putting the soft release pen in the barn and surprise, surprise, the hogs seem reluctant to move their sleeping quarters from the barn. They have snug houses filled with hay and protection from rain and hard frost so I can understand how they feel. We think hog #6 may also be in the barn as there is a big pile of hay where we think she may be resting up. The photo is hog #8 who broke out of his soft release pen on night one by digging underneath it and then broke back in again to sleep in the hedgehog house in the pen. We have named him 'Steve McQueen'.
