Wilbur had a good life too, but he's still alive. Have videos of my boys riding him around the yard.
Is wilbur the one his little boy raised?
Wilbur was mine...Tank was Travis's. We raised both from bottle fed up. I've got a video I could send in to America's Funniest Videos and win the pot. Apparently my boys were taking turns riding him around the yard a couple years ago and had my phone filming each other. They decided he wasn't bucking enough, so the youngest tells the oldest "Ok Braydon...You get on and I'll kick him in the nuts". So they proceed to do so, and all on film. It's the funniest thing I've even seen. Connor kicks him, he bucks, Braydon slides off the back and is holding his tail while Wilbur is running dragging him around the yard. I'll see if I can dig it out and post it.
That hog is as tame as any animal could be...and quite smart to. He comes when called, and would go get in his pen when I told him to do so.
