Handy Pig Snatcher HOG EQUIPMENT & IDEAS Hog Equipment & Ideas (351) 12-5-11 A "pig snatcher" lets Dennis Mattox, Sargent, Neb., easily catch pigs scrambling around in their farrowing crates.
"I usually work alone in the farrowing house and I used to dread trying to catch pigs in crates. Three years ago I built this device and it's made the job much easier," says Mattox.
