It’s best not to get too attached to your food. That being said, I typically try to “hand feed” all pigs as much as possible, that way they’re very docile and associate me with feeding time.
Makes it much easier to get them loaded on the trailer when it comes to drive them their last mile. While I take no pleasure in having them slaughtered, it doesn’t really bother me either. I’ve shot and cleaned many deer and wild hogs, it’s not really a big deal if you treat them as humanely as possible, quick clean kills.
