I do have pigs but they're small. I wasn't sure if they could crack the shells on the hickories, but I guess they should be able to. Last year they got all the acorns I could gather. For some reason the nut trees are all on thin rocky soil - places it's hard to put up a pig-strong fence or drive a grounding rod, so I have to gather the nuts for them. They're living the life, food brought to them, LOL! If the food flavors the meat (they say feeding too many acorns makes the meat bitter) then would hickory-fed pork taste already smoked?
