Well spotted @mickey duck. Behind that fence is a good 20m sheer drop into the gorge, classic papa rock country. On the adjacent property, the fences are shit and the pigs will keep breaking until they get to one of their many holes, then it’s Pig Base Jumping, sometimes with an unfortunate dog hanging off an ear, or ball sack.
This time, the pigs were bailed up against a staunch run of fence that is good for a couple of km along the gorge. Nowhere to run! Oooops...
The pig on the right was completely earless. This pig had been observed going over the edge a good couple of times, SPLASH!, then swimming away. At the same location a couple of clicks from where these were caught, perhaps the biggest boar the guys ever caught did the same thing, over the side into the river, but it drowned probably because it was too tired, or injured. It caused huge upset and there was a crazy effort to try and recover it, but to no avail...
