Do people think cows, pigs and horses like it?
My fiance's dad is a pig farmer, and he does not brand anymore. Most
pig farmers in illinois have switched to a type of large chalk-pen which
resembles spraypaint. They did that because it's more humane (even
tho the pigs are living 'asses to elbows' in the houses) and the brands
on them could get infected and kill the pig.
