Short nose and broad shoulders with short legs make for a "power feeder" at the slop trough...
They can take up a wider spot while having leverage to lean on their trough mate to get even more...
Feral pigs need the long snout, narrow head and shoulders and long legs to make travel effortless... the long snout allows for deeper rooting as well...
Feral hogs caught as piglets and pen raised and bred will soon throw the shorter and shorter snouts they need for domestic life... I have seen this more than a dozen times with entire "ol' skool" small pig "keeps" done by fellow hunters...
After the second generation, they no longer exhibit the attack risk unless cornered which any pig will charge over that...
