Protecting Your Pasture and Herd: Why More Ranchers Are Turning to the Pig Brig

With an estimated 6–9 million feral hogs across the U.S., ranchers are facing a challenge that hits pasture health, herd safety, and overall profitability. Hogs disrupt your daily operations, strain resources, and put both your land and livestock at risk — and the problem isn’t slowing down.

Your Herd and Pasture Are Under Pressure

Pasture and water take the hit. Rooting and wallowing tear up forage, weaken streambanks, and damage water quality your herd depends on.

Young livestock are vulnerable. During drought or low-forage periods, feral hogs may prey on newborn or young livestock, creating an added layer of stress for ranchers already managing tight conditions.

Disease risks rise. Feral hogs carry more than 60 diseases, including brucellosis and pseudorabies. Exposure can lead to lost weight gain, unexpected vet bills, and, in some cases, culling.

They don’t slow down. Hunting pressure often scatters and educates hogs, making them harder to catch. Populations rebound quickly, and survivors start avoiding traditional traps.

Why the Pig Brig® Trap System Fits Ranch Country

The Pig Brig net trap system is engineered for performance in the environments ranchers work in every day. Places where reliability, simplicity, and impact matter most.

Whole-sounder removal. Our quiet, continuous-catch design uses hogs’ natural rooting behavior to your advantage. They root under the net throughout the night, helping you remove entire sounders. Even while you’re sleeping.

Trap anywhere. With no need for power or cell service, you can set your trap where the hog pressure actually is, not just where equipment allows.

Pasture-friendly and portable. One-person setup and easy relocation mean you can adapt quickly to shifting hog patterns, rotational grazing schedules, or remote pastures without heavy equipment.

Built for brute strength. Our double-walled netting, including the Boar Shield, is designed to hold aggressive hogs safely and securely, standing up to the demands of real ranch use.
