I know it's a cattle forum, so that's why I placed this in the Coffee Shop, and cause I'm sure I'll catch some ribbin for asking. Can pigs swim? Or, the more appropriate question is; Will they swim? Nobody has been able to answer this question with any degree of certainty. My reason for wanting to know is because I wanted to locate them (4 pigs we feed out for meat for ourselves and other family each year) on a peninsula at my pond. Panels accross the peninsula, with water on three sides. Panels extending out into the water about 12 feet, where water depth is about 4 feet.
So, I'm just curious if this would work. They would have shade all day (big willows), obviously plenty of water for wallowing, fresh water hauled daily, and feed twice daily. The area is about 30 feet wide 70 feet long. Seems like it would be a pigs paradise, so I'm wondering, if they can swim, do you think they would swim?
Any comments appreciated, even jokes and sarcasm are welcome, even if you think I'm doing it all wrong.
