Did you know that pigs can get haircuts just like people? Before a livestock show, people often trim or clip the hair on a pig. This grooming is done to showcase the muscle and body shape as well as give it a neat and clean appearance. This image shows a man carefully trimming around the pig’s ears, which can often be a tricky task to master.
