You know, Art, somehow the phrase "edible cockroaches" is going to put a serious dent in my enjoyment of that ham I've got thawing in the refrigerator. EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.
Okay, okay, I surrender
I was indeed thinking in terms of a deer hunter, more than a rancher. I do know that pigs do the "drunken backhoe" job on fields, and I see your point.
But I still think that harvesting and eating the piglets is better than leaving 'em to feed the coyotes, because then you have to go hunt down the coyotes anyway and you can't eat THEM
