I bet the hog was wearing contact lenses!

In Seymour the farmers catch them in a trap and they are not big enough, they cut off one or both of their ears and cut the balls. Pig will get really big for the future.

New to me...

We've bought some from hog doggers that look just like that after the dogs chewed the ears off. They don't even look like a pig without those ears.

I've shot a couple hogs without ears in the past

We have gotten two with no ears. No ear canals either. Ruled out dogs and prob more inbreeding.

Usually eaten off while little by larger pigs.

That's what I figured abroussard. Some type of birth defect.

We've got one with no ears, no tail & no gonads. Since the majority I've seen with "defects" are barrs there's a high probability he's been caught.

Pig killed by lease member yesterday evening. Will post a picture soon. He said it was born like that. No holes for ear canal or any type of scarring.

They sure do look funny

A lot of the hog guys in my area trap or catch them young and remove the ears. They do this when they cut them or do it to a sow, that way when they see them in the future they know it's an eater! This way, at 100 yds, they can shoot a cut hog (bar hog) or a sow for the freezer, they let the boars walk. It's common place in this neck of the woods.

This^^^^, my Dad and his buddies use to cut the tails and ears on the ones they castrated
