Who wants a pig? It's a potbelly and it's really big for a potbelly.
It's a neutered male, technically a barrow, so it should be good to eat.
Not at all friendly, and he's never liked me, even when he was little. He has rushed me a few times, but he's so fat, he can't run.
I need it gone. FREE
So, if you are in the NE Texas area, or know someone near here who would like a couple hundred pounds of free pork, please contact me or have your friend contact me.
Phone 903-450-3943. Thanks!

Dawnies pig ? Cleaning house ?
Yes, it's her pig, but she cares nothing for it.
She and I are in agreement that it needs to go.
All is well.
You can correct how friendly it is... Shoot it and take it to a processor .
" He has rushed me a few times" ,,,,,,
Easy to cure that ,,,,,,, cut his tail off, just behind his ears ,,,,,,,,😂
Dig a hole...........shoot it.....shove it in......bury it. Problem solved.
It's not like a family member............hell..................you don't want it and your ex-doesn't want it.
Good luck trying to find a new home for a full grown aggressive pig.
...Get the word out and you know someone around here will snatch it in a heart beat...ham, pork ribs...put a bunch in the freezer...processing would be a lot cheaper than store bought...luck David...
Maybe there is a local soup kitchen that could use the meat?
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Ad in paper? Who does that?
The same people that still take personal checks.........😉
Same here, we even have an hour long swap shop on the local radio every day....for free!
I believe in Tehas one has to bring it in alive to the processor. Or was that only for public consumption?
Anyways, it's a good reason to buy a Cajun Microwave or La Caja China (if you're from Florida) for a pig roast.
A live pig not only saves energy for refrigeration, it also saves the ole back in transport!
This reminds me of an old Billy Goat I once owned. He sure was cute as a kid but quickly grew into a very stinky, oversized troublesome PITA!
I put a sign out in the window of my Greenhouse office advertising "FREE GOAT" during the busy Spring plant selling season. Within just a few hours this old station wagon pulls in. A kind of (hard to say nicely) scraggy looking fella with his 4 kids approaches me about my goat.
I will never forget seeing the chit eating grin on that guys face as he was backing his car out of my driveway. Kids crammed in the back, sharing space with that smelly ole goat!! 😁

Send him to a no kill shelter. It is not your animal but you will get credit for putting it down. You can take the high road and transfer your problem to a no kill shelter. While they are busy dealing with the pig they will have less time to cause trouble for others.
Can't say I am following your logic here.

If there is one.
I would guess he means those shelters are run by animal right activists and pig will keep them to busy to interfere with folks hunting rights.....??
hillbille got it right.
Ok, I gotta ask.....Are pot belly pigs even good to eat? I've had lots of pork, store bought, and my favorite is wild sow, BUT I've never seen anyone process a pot belly pig. Do they have good meat? Just curious.
I don't know, but I've heard their meat is very good. Main reason I can think of for not processing more of them is their size.
Yes you can eat them and in some counties it is preferred over the typical feed pigs we have in the USA. They are fattier and don't get as large, but are said to be very good. To me, it just is not done as much in this country since people treat them like pets.
I tried and tried to give the pig away, mostly with posts on Facebook. Lots of questions, but no takers.
So, I put a new ad on Facebook, offering $100 cash to whomever would remove the pig and not bring him back. That did the trick. I had two groups racing to get here, because I stated the first to remove the pig would be paid.
One group of three young men showed up with a stock trailer. I quickly called the other party and told him the pig was spoken for. The pig did not want to be moved, but the fellas moved it, over his loud protests.
We had to lift the pig onto the floor of the trailer, so each of us grabbed a foot. This thing was HEAVY. I asked the leader of the bunch to estimate the pig's weight. He said he believed the pig weighed around 380 pounds! Wow!
Anyhow, the darn thing is gone and I'm glad of it.
BTW, the guys who took him said they plan to keep him as pet and maybe eat him in a year or so. Pet or food, either way is fine with me. He's gone!
Good Deal... incentive always works. Glad the mean thing went for a cookout ..eventually
Hoggone.
Woo hoo. Congrats Nunn.
As long as it is not registered democrat and votes I'm OK with that.
Here I thought you did that the other way. Had a friend north of Des Moines who had a stove he sat out along the road with a sign which read 'FREE'. No takers. After a while he took that sign down and put up another that said '$100 CASH' and the first night somebody stole it.
well at least its gone
we had a few weeks my sister gave us a co worker just had to have it so we gave it to him and glad to do it
he made a pet out of it but was hit by a car a year or so later
a some waht frustrating and sad story to go with it
when I was much younger I worked construction my dad had told me the story . but some time later I ended up working with the actual fellow so I had to ask if the story was true
another worker had a dog and wanted to find some one to take it . by the end of the week he added $25.00 to help pay for the food bill for the dog to get it started
well "Barret" ( his name ) took the dog and 25 dollars home . then shot the dog that night and just kept the money
when I ask he owned up said yes I did . not real proud but for 25.00 I had no problem taking the dog and shooting it
I am sure he passed on a long time ago. and had to answer to some one higher up about the poor old dog he shot
