Follow our hog removal jobs to see how quickly we can eradicate hogs

Hallettsville, Texas
100% hog eradication of sounder #1 completed on February 18, 2015.
    The original sounder #1 consisted of 6 sows, 2 boars, and 9 juvenile hogs.  A total of 17 hogs made up sounder #1.  We were able to remove one sow before she had her litter, one boar and the 9 juveniles on February 5th.  The remaining 5 sows, 1 boar, and 16 piglets were removed February 17th.  The remaining 12 piglets were removed February 18th.  The 5 sows that went missing for several weeks had a total of 26 piglets.  The original sounder of 17 individuals nearly tripled in 2 weeks time due to 5 sows having their litters.  A total of 45 hogs were removed in 3 trappings using the same enclosure over 6 weeks time.  During the 6 weeks of trapping, the landowner decided to build a barn on the property.  We also did some renovations on 2 of the landowners ponds during this time frame, which can be seen on our erosion control page
.  Vehicle traffic and human presence on the property may have lengthened the time it took us to capture sounder #1. 

    For those of you who have been following our progress, you might be wondering what happened to sounder #2.  Sounder #2 was located in an area where the landowner decided to build a barn.  We located this sounder prior to the start of the construction.  However, sounder #2 has not been seen since the start of the construction.  Vehicle traffic and human presence in the area may have moved this sounder off the property.  We will continue to monitor bait holes around the property to see if sounder #2 or any new sounders move into the area. 

Sounder #1 Captured

But we still have some work to do.  According to our February 10th photo, we are still missing some piglets.  We are unsure how many piglets remain, but we do know at least 3 piglets remain.  We are confident that we removed all of the older pigs, so the remaining piglets should show up soon.  By removing all of the older pigs, also known as dumbing down the herd, the remaining piglets should have no problem entering the enclosure.  As to why these 5 sows have been missing for several weeks, we now know that they were off having their litters.

Tonight, 3 of the remaining sows from sounder #1 arrived without their piglets.  Now waiting for them to bring their piglets with them.  And still waiting for the other 2 sows and boar to show up.

A total of 5 sows, 1 boar and many piglets remain.

Tuesday night, we had 19 new pigs show up.  We assume these piglets are from the 3 sows that went missing 3 weeks ago from sounder #1.  The sows did not show up to the feeder with the piglets, but they should be close by.  Hopefully we will see them soon.
