Live pig market

[canny]

Just curious where would I go to locate a facility that purchases live feral pigs? Is this still a thing?

I’ve heard that as well, but have seen guys going down the road with a trap on a trailer hauling them.

I think there’s a list on THF.

Nope it’s still legal. I use to sell them all the time to a guy in mason. Just got to where it wasn’t worth the pain to haul them the price was so cheap

Yes perfect. Thanks, I live in Lufkin so that’s convenient that one is here.

Like everything else, got to be permitted, licensed or some such, or so one pig toter said.

No doubt but I have to drive from the farm to my home in Lufkin which is 40 miles. If I have to drive anyways I might as well haul them with me.

I didn't even know this was a thing. Good to know.
