Unfortunately they thought he became too destructive and he resulted in bacon in the freezer. Exactly why I'm a vegetarian.

FB might be able to answer that, I wasn't paying attention. They come from a small breeder just down the road. They are all happy pigs as they have a huge pasture to play in. I do wish all livestock were raised this way.

They'll come back to the food when hungry again.

And the kunekunes(?) rototilling... thank you for this delightful video. :) Yes, this is what pigs are born to do, and these two are two of the too few fortunate ones that can live a pig's life (instead of being condemned to suffer and vegetate and suffer until they end up, e.g., on some appalling all-you-can-eat buffet...).
