Why are pigs being raised on the farm?

Pigs like to root up the pasture that cows need to graze. Pigs are not grazers like cows are, they are diggers or rooters.

Besides, if the pigs aren't used to the cows and vice versa, there may be a bit of a scuffle every now and then, resulting in injury to both parties.

Why do Rhinos and Pigs like mud?

Mud helps suffocate parasites and lice and also serves as a natural sun block to keep the hot sun off of the bodies of rhinos and pigs. It is a biothermal response to their lack of ability to dissipate heat; they immerse themselves in the mud if there is not a large round tub of cool water for them to bathe themselves in or if it is too dry for any mud to be found. Pigs do not have any sweat glands; therefore they cannot sweat. Rolling in mud cools them down.
