Transformative Essay: Celebrating National Pig Day

Imagery of how workers were getting sick when pulling the guts out of the slaughtered pigs that for the most part can only leave readers saddened. “A culture that just uses a pig as a pile of protoplasmic inanimate structure, to be manipulated by whatever creative design the human can foist on that critter, will probably view individuals within its community, and other cultures in the community of nations, with the same type of disdain and disrespect and controlling type mentalities,” (Wiber 350). Wiber tries to establish that these meat products are anything but one hundred percent real meat. Instead they’re filled with artificial fillers made of who knows

Imagine waking up in the middle of a warm Texas night to the thundering sound of fences being annihilated by a cluster of swine, weighing in at a hefty 300 pounds each and armed with razor-sharp tusks. Within minutes, the rowdy pigs turn a beautifully manicured lawn into a scene fitting of the apocalypse, a yard with numerous piles of de-rooted sod, broken fence posts and mangled bushes. In the state of Texas, feral pigs are considered one of the most destructive species of animals ever introduced to America. The amount of destruction feral pigs produce on a yearly basis in Texas is alarming; almost half a billion dollars in damages to property and crops are estimated every year as a result of the pigs’ actions. Feral pigs are responsible for causing widespread agricultural damage, spreading diseases in the food supply, and harming the state’s ability to feed needy people with their meat.

Two main types were developed: one breed was large, with floppy ears, while the other was a smaller size, with erect ears, used mainly for meat. Missouri has been the primary state for hog production. With hogs playing a significant role in the diversified crop and livestock operations of Missouri’s farmers. Farming operations have tended to be smaller and more diverse than in many neighboring states. Hog sales have been an important source of income during times of the year when other sources of income were not available. They sometimes have been known as the “mortgage lifter.”

The rebel with the humans soon faded away, as the pigs follow human culture. Especially, Napoleon, he changed the commandments allowing pigs’ to act like humans. “Nevertheless, some of the animals were disturbed when they heard that the pigs not only took their meals in the kitchen and used the drawing-room as a recreation room but also slept in the beds” (Orwell 79). The animals on the farm did not like the ideas of pigs eating in the kitchen, using the drawing-room, or sleep in beds because these are things that humans do. Because humans have never treated them fairly, the animals do not want to adopt anything related to humans. However,

This quote directly contradicts the statement that all animals are equal, the last of the 7 Commandments, and puts the pigs in a position of power over the other animals. If the rules of animalism had been followed, the animals would all be acknowledged as leaders and the pigs would also work for the farm. Throughout the novel, the pigs superiority and higher level of intelligence is mentioned, believed not only by the pigs, but by the animals as well. The animals, not in a position to know more and learn more, and the fact that they didn’t question the pigs’ authority, made it possible for the pigs to get away with breaking and changing rules, and acting more like the humans they had once hated.

Throughout my seventeen years of life I have always lived on a farrow to finish hog farm, which is called Billings Hogs Inc.. Billings Hogs Inc., operated by my grandfather and father, consist of 50 to 70 sows and gilts year-round plus farming 4,000 acres of corn, wheat, and milo. Therefore, I have always been closely related to the swine industry. However, even though I have been directly involved in the swine industry, I didn’t truly find my passion for the swine industry until I began showing and raising my own hogs. My herd began to develop when I brought my champion Yorkshire breeding gilt home from the Scott County Fair in 2014. Upon the gilt returning home, I bred her in September of 2014 so that she would give birth to piglets in January.

Ground hog day is February second. We at CF Consulting Inc. celebrate ground hog day because it resonates with what our industry is all about. Folklore has it, that if it is cloudy when a groundhog emerges from its burrow on this day, then the spring season will arrive early, sometime before the vernal equinox; if it is sunny, the groundhog will supposedly see its shadow and retreat back into its den, and winter weather will persist for six more weeks. If we analyze the tale, the ground hog is going through a period of changing seasons. He is aware of the change and is prepared to face it on the day.
