I'm not sure if the walls are high enough though, for others that raise pigs, you think a pig will climb over that?

I do think they'd come out if they wanted to. Lots of places to get a footing there. That biggest boar of mine would climb our gate but theres no foothold.

that's what I was thinking, heck all we had for a gate was a tubular one and we laid a 2 foot high piece of plywood across the bottom so they couldn't wiggle out, when it was doughnut time, all three would stand up on their hind legs with their front hanging over the top of the gate, a few strong kicks and if they caught the bottom piece of plywood or tubes, they were coming over

I can't believe how smart they are. I swear the big male picked up a stick in his mouth today and used it to smack the female for getting near my son in law. He did this 3 or 4 times...every time she got near him. When we were walking away he threw it down...Actually walking behind her whacking her on the butt.

I believe it, pigs are smarter than hell, and I think they are very self aware, more than people give them credit for. My pigs have surprised me plenty of times over the years.
