This is bizarre... One person has died and another was injured after two attacks days apart by hogs at a small farm in Piedmont.

On Monday, Piedmont police and the Piedmont Rescue Squad responded to the farm on Bramlett Road on a report about a possible death.

They found Steven Kyle Satterfield, 51, under his vehicle at his home. Police believe his multiple injuries were caused by his hogs and that he tried to get away from them by crawling under his vehicle.

He was pronounced dead at the scene. Results from a forensic examination are pending to determine his cause of death.

Police are emphasizing that rumors that he was eaten are not true.

They also saw a large hog loose on the property and a section of fence was down, according to police.

The two hogs believed to have cause his injuries were taken to a veterinarian to be secured. Two other hogs on the property could not be removed because of environmental issues. But they were secured in a trailer while the fence could be repaired.

The family and the Department of Agriculture were notified. However, state laws do not allow law enforcement to make decisions about livestock, so it was up to the owners to decide what to do with the hogs.
The family took the hogs from the veterinarian's office but did not take them back to the property in Piedmont.

Then on Thursday, the two remaining hogs at the farm injured a person who was feeding them. That person was taken for treatment by medical personnel. The extent of those injuries was not released.

The family then euthanized those hogs on the property because of the aggressive behavior.

I’ve seen this several times on the news this morning
Definitely leaves room for questions to be asked

My grandfather raised hogs when I was a kid. He kept then in line with a stick. I never remember him having any issues.

Makes you wonder how much they were fed, how they were treated etc… I had up in the upper 20’s at one point and never had an issue. One strand of hot wire along the bottom of the fence and fed em twice daily… I could pet mine heard this story several days ago and wondered if the man had underlying health issues and went down then hogs got to him… idk regardless I’d probably just got rid of em the right way…

I wonder if any were sows with pigs, them landrace/duroc crosses we had when the boom was going on the 80’s would eat your lunch when they were with piglets

I would have a freezer full of pork or at least give them to the neighbors.

Deadwood

Something similar happened down the road from me about 7-8 years ago. Guy had a heart attack and his own dogs chewed on him after he was dead.

They are omnivores.

Springtime.

Pigs can be dangerous animals.

I live about 5 mins down the rd. They say that 2 hogs were took to the vet that they believe caused the attack but when the family went back to feed the remaining hogs someone got attacked again lol. Now it is Piedmont so no telling what the real truth is.

And they are VERY smart.

I expected this to be about wild hogs... Pigs will jack you up when they want

Outfitter in OK warned us one time : " Watch out for the 4-500 lb Boars. They are ill tempered and will kill you" ( and eat you ) Nice !

My uncle and aunt owned a commercial pig farm (typically had around 1,000 or so at any given time). With the exception of the birthing house you rarely touched them (clip teeth, tails, and inooculate them) and at a certain size you never got in the pens with them, unless someone else was there. They used a gate system and prods to move them down the line to finally the market pens to be shipped to the slaughterhouse. Their feet never touched the dirt - born on concrete and raised on either raised grates or concrete.

We do not rent pigs

I would have at least been set up with sausage for awhile. Hogs can be mean critters and being so low to the ground, hard to get away from when down on the ground.
