pigs and nose rings
« on: February 13, 2010, 08:54 »
hello,

we already have chickens and now we are restoring the pig sty in the orchard to keep pigs. My husband and i are debating about nose rings. Can anyone give us some advice about this subject?
thanks

I under stood nose rings are for controlling boars.  I have never used then and I do not think I will.

Hi the reason nose rings work is because they  hurt  when the pig  roots  around which is what pigs do, we have kept pigs for several years and have never used them and like roughlee said never will
